It's been a while since I've had any friendly felines in front of my lenses, but this week I had the pleasure of photographing Max, at left. Max is a young kitten, very playful - which was fantastic, as it allowed us to make some photos of him interacting with just about everything we put near the backdrop (the catch, of course, was getting him to STAY on the backdrop!). I thought the white backdrop would be fun with Max due to his coloring, and that if I could get the "clean" look I was after we could pick and choose among the exposures to make three-panel presentations such as this one.

I also had the pleasure of meeting these three daschunds (and their wonderful adoptive parents), who seemed to be made purely of caffeine, coiled springs, and playful intentions. However, due to preserverance and patience (and a bit of sweat), their dad and mom kept them still long enough to let me nab this composition. As usual with darker breeds, controlling the light and exposure is everything - so the dogs had to be in the precise area we'd lit with strobes for the shot to come off great. Thanks to all five of you for the cooperation!
