So, I've been meaning to get a photo session in with my "new" indoor backdrop. However, trying to configure a lighting set-up AND find a spot in the house that gave me enough room for everything was giving me fits. Why can't everyone just clear their stuff out and then I'd have LOADS of room, LOL! Yeah, that was not going to happen. *grin*
So, several weeks ago I dashed out to my covered patio to see if I could make something work. Not wanting to drag out my Traditional-scale photo shoot set-up, I slap-dashed my "small"-scale set-up onto a patio side table and grabbed a hasty photo just to see if it would work. The backdrop is the same for my Traditional-scale "indoor" backdrop, just scaled down. Not bad!

A little glare on the backdrop, but not too bad... And remember, this was (literally) a case of grab stuff-run out-hastily set this up-snap photo. Oh, and the weather was ramping up to our most recent heat wave, so if I recall correctly it was about 100 degrees that day. Blurg! Hence, why no further photos followed...
Until today. I took the plunge and set up my Traditional scale photo set-up. Still some glare issues that I'm not completely happy about, but it beats the heck out of schlepping this stuff around in the sun and fighting winds. The winds were coming from the North this morning, and towards the end of my photo shoot I was getting worried about the backdrop getting blown over. However, ANY wind when I take photos in the sun cause major havoc with my set-up so this was a decent compromise, I thought.
Most of the horses already had pedigrees in place, or I have sent off breeding requests for their pedigrees (Cory received a couple from this group). One had her sire and dam assigned but I could NOT decide on a name. Problem solved... (Step Into Starlite) HA! Anyway, here are the results of my "indoor" (under the patio cover) photo shoot:

I'm still not completely happy with the glossy finished horses' photos, but they'll do... Oh, and to top it all off, the battery started to die in my digital camera. Hence, why I didn't get more horses photographed.
