Thanks everyone. I really love bubba. Definitely a keeper. I hope to take many more photos of him for you guys.
The camera set up really isnt impressive at all. Canon Rebel XT (350D) (Find them on ebay or craigslist for like $100), Neewer TT560 flash ($45 shipped), remote trigger from Cowboy studios ($30 shipped), and whatever lens you wanna use. Editing done on Lightroom 4 or CS4, , depends on which laptop im at. I promise, anyone can afford to shoot with the gear that I have.
