question about shooting X-mas cards - 11-18-2007, 06:17 PM


I have a friend who wants me to shoot her four (4) dogs (pugs) possible with her in the picture. I dont have any equipment for this or any kinds of backgrounds. My Question is should I shoot this outside with a nice background or should I shoot this in her house with a white sheet (background) and then Photoshop with a X-mas / snow background? Has any tried this before? Like I said I dont have any kind of equip for this. I want to try and see what happens. She is looking at this as a pug (dog) exchange x-mas cards with her online Pug group.

Can anyone give me advise for this?

Thanks

Copper

How about shoot her in the house in front of a Christmas tree?

Unless your good at photoshop pasting them in will be hard to get the lighting the same as your background. Otherwise shooting outside should work.

Well my camera is equipped with a 1000 megasquirtle light sensitive array with a megakilo double widget interface and a pseudo-terrafilter. its got 2 million hexafurtles with a 10 kiloplex and a rechargeable virtual combo-backplate. i also fitted an optical fillyfangle with predictive threshold histogram monitoring. it also has a light sensitive light meter and a time sensitive shutter mechanism.

I used red velour as a background for mine.



It's prefect for christmas type stuff.
