A bit of Halloween fun with Sheddie.  I laid out some mini pumpkins on a throw and tried to get her to pose.  She was having none of it and won't earn her food from modeling jobs.  It was a pity because her colours toned so well with the wee pumpkins.

The photo(s) were taken without flash which I won't use with my exotics for fear of hurting their eyes and upsetting them.  I used my 100 mm RF macro lens on my Canon R6.  Light was a challenge without flash and it was in the evening with only room lighting so this impacted my settings.  With the constraints on light I used an aperture of f/5.6 which meant that the pumkpins would not be sharp but hoped that enough of her face would be sharp for a usable shot.  I used a shutter speed of 1/160 sec. and auto ISO came in on this shot at 1600 (it was higher on others).  I chose this shot because the whole of Sheddie's body can be seen in front of the pumpkins taken at a low level and her eye is sharp.  Unfortunately the light at her underbody seems a bit off and the image is lacking in detail.  Can't blame the model on that one!

The bonus image is a fun one of her resting her chin on a pumpkin.  
Similar settings except ISO was 2500.
