Sigma DP1m pet portraits
10

I never thought id be using a DP1m for portraits, but its really not that bad. Bounced flash off the ceiling and had a piece of white cardboard in the background. I didnt spend much time making sure the background was completely white in post processing.

I think the warm white balance works well. Probably your ceiling is painted Magnolia or similar rather than plain white.

Nice pictures.

Re: Sigma DP1m pet portraits

Its a shade of grey called knitting needle -- I am not using a color calibrated monitor either , i think i moved the color balance in spp just a light touch towards yellow / red.  i usually click on the eye dropped and click on something inn the photo that i assume is true white,, then decide i dont like the results  lol.
