I was thinking of buying one as well.  I feel like I can pose how I want looking in a mirror but without it is much harder.

Now that is glorious!

Very good idea.  I agree, I like it to not match as well at times.  I will be doing some experimentation.

That is for sure!  Him and his sister get into everything.   My HDD has more cat pictures than I'd like to admit.  Actually getting a DSLR was partially from trying to shoot them.  The other ...

Well done!  Hope you print those up.

Amazing!   Are you using some kind of IR trigger or just firing a ton shots hoping to capture?

Ha!  Glad it worked :)      Shag could work on some shoots but I just have beat up apartment carpet.   I think wood or a wood texture can go a long way in improving even the cat picture.

Looks great.  Thanks again for the tips. I will search for that one or something similar.

Thank you yet again, Karen!    I would love to get that look of wood.   I like your idea of building something from you second post as well.   Yes, I think I would want something that can handle a ...

Floor question. I took this of Buster the other day.  A nice wood floor or continuing the paper all the way underneath him would have improved the shot.  Seamless paper on carpet does not work as ...

Very nice shot!

Its like the dude in Dark City is going through his old memories.

I like these two quite a lot, especially the first one.

Ha, well I make repeated mistakes all the time.  Hoping the hair and loose clothing (on other shots I didn't post) stick in my head for next time. I did the liquefy pucker tool and some dodging ...

Thanks, Krava Maga. I will mess around with those tools and experiment.  Yeah, the second shot is a mess as far as the hair.    Lesson learned.

I will have to read up on that. It seems like Photoshops's spot healing in some ways unless I am misunderstanding its usage.  That could be a useful addition if needed. Thank you.

Thank you for the layer structure.

And snuck in a flower! Very nice edit. Thanks. Which blending method did you use for the flower and blurring for the hair? I was trying lens blur for the hair and not thrilled with my results but I ...
