looks like NOISE to me, have you tried more power on the ighting? or going down to f8 or f4? usually means its under exposed.. or you can try to up your exposure comp a stop or two.. I dunno.. but it does look under exposed to my eyes!

Agree with Craig. Not enough exposure. 1/125 at F8 would already be a 2-stop improvement. OR get more light: why only 1/8 power from your strobe? 1/2 would also improve 2 stops. You may want a reflector to open up the shadows.

I will try this and show the results, thank you. I have a noise plug in. BUT, I dont want to always fix my pictures. I want to do it right the first time. Right? Kristy

Ok Now that I am in the right thread so I can see the pictures. HAHAHAHA I am new here so please bear with me. It looks to me like you are exposing for the background instead of your subject. And the exposure is a bit hot. I would say that you would want the black to actually be black with some texture and then you want the subject fairly white. So I would just take a couple of test shots with out the subject to get the background right. Then once you have the settings you want then place the subject and shoot with those settings. If the subject is too hot then make a 1/3 stop lower if the subject is too undercooked. Then 1/3 stop higher. Baby steps really. That way hopefully you will find the exact exposure you want. Best wishes, Flipper

Back up the background or block light from getting to it so the exposure for the background is lower for the exposure for the dog.

Kristy, I agree with Gregory, Try using a black shade on that window, or fit a pice of cardboard to the window to block as much light as possible , but can be removed easily when you are not shooting. then put about 25 inches between you pup and the back drop. This will help all this Alot! This will be a issue again as you backdrop fades in color(over time). I hope this helps, Debby Tabb
