p.1 #1 · What's in the Fridge?

Here is a series of my beagle Amy checking out what is inside the fridge.

This was done last year and was quite a challenge, in particular getting the dog's face in focus. I did 3 sessions and I think these photos are from the last session. Each got better, in particular I learned to keep my hand with the remote trigger out of the frame javascript:void(0);

I want to get some time to try this again. I'm thinking to try a wider angle, but these are at 10mm on a 50D. Now I have a 5DII and 17-40mm. The f-stop was f7.1, maybe I should have used F11 or F16. The ISO was 800.
The flash was a 580exII mounted on the camera.

They are fun photos but I want to get the quality up. What would you suggest? I have 2 flash and cyber syncs. I have a small umbrella. Also have a lumiquest softbox. Can't get it all into the fridge - especially the umbrella javascript:void(0);

I put a piece of food in the fridge. On some photos, some in this series I photoshopped out the piece of food.

What about simulating the fridge? Maybe take one of the shelfs out and some food and make it look like you are shooting from inside the fridge. Then you would have more room for your equipment. The ony thing missing would be the partial view of the door that is in your photos.

I like your photo's by the way. They are funny!

Too funny! Maybe next time a higher angle could be worth a go because in #3 & #4, due to the angle, it could be a severed head. I also agree with the earlier poster suggesting to fake the fridge. Great stuff though!

Fun stuff! Does your camera not have a two second bulb setting? That way you can press the remote and the shutter fires two seconds later, allowing you to easily move your hand out of the way.

Since you all liked what I did, here are a couple more. I like #2 of the 3 as far as a "keeper". It could use more adjustments to the image but I wanted to share it now as I may never adjust it.

#1 - This I only kept because it was my other beagle Molly. She did not cooperate like Amy did

#3 You can see me standing in the way - silly me
