The weather was more suitable for Cubby's photo shoot today, so here he is in all his furriness. I think he is a very playful cub ,and I am happy with his open mouth. They can be a challenge, especially on an 8' bear !
He will be on EBAY for 5 days , beginning at 6:30 Atlantic Time tonight until Tuesday.
People often ask how I do my photos , so I thought I would share my "elaborate" set-up LOL. It is very simple really , provided the weather co-operates. I find a spot on my deck out of direct sunlight . I use poster/bristol board for a seamless backdrop, and sit at a chair with my camera on a tripod (sometimes). My hand is getting steadier so sometimes I am lazy about the tripod and just kneel on the ground.
I usually take many , many photos and often have to do a second shoot. Days like today my fingers were frozen after sitting outside for almost an hour. I'm sure my neighours must think I am crazy "playing" with teddy bears LOL.
My camera is an Olympus SP-550UZ. for the price I am really pleased with the images I can capture. Someday, I would love to own a DSLR camera though :)

Cubby is very cute! (The bee is kinda scary.)
Thanks for the "behind the scenes" look at the photo shoot. I'd wondered how it was done.
I loved seeing your photo shoot Tammy and the snow looks absolutely gorgeous. I bet it is probably a menace to live with sometimes though. I have never seen snow. Perhaps one day.....
Hugs,
Christine.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr! but natural sunlight makes great pictures. And Cubby is a-dorable!
