After receiving an official email today from the Willacoochee Police Department in Willacoochee, Georgia, summoning more pictures of Max, I got my butt in gear and processed nine from the first half of this month. Most are from Monkey Joe’s and show how Max was getting really aggressive with his sliding.

These photos are great – particularly the first one. I’m curious, what kind of camera and lighting was used? It almost looks like you used a softbox or something. very nice!

Thank you, Casey. In all of these images I used a single Canon 580EX flash. I use the Lightsphere diffuser at home or wherever I have a ceiling. I didn’t use a diffuser at Monkey Joe’s. The camera was a Canon 5D Mark II. The lighting is enhanced, in my opinion, by adding a teensy amount of Diffuse Glow and vignettes in Photoshop or Lightroom.
In the studio we use Alien Bee and White Lightning strobes with a 7' Photoflex OctoDome or an 86" parabolic light modifier from Paul C. Buff. We love shooting in the studio, but it’s difficult to get our two-year-old son to cooperate.

Lovely shots. You did a super job with lighting inside Monkey Joe’s.

Thanks, Shawn. Lighting isn’t easy in there, but the high-ISO performance of the 5D Mark II is forgiving of such situations.
