Picture taking tips for dark pigs

- I GAVE, dammit!
Here is a picture of beautiful Tallahassee. Since she is a black pig, it´s very hard to take pics and not have them show up as dark blobs! So, I get a torchiere lamp (on of those that shine out the top) and bend it down to totally flood the pig in light. Then snap!
Sometimes you might have to keep working with it.

Iknow what you mean about dark pigs. I have a terrible time taking pics of Nina. I´ve dragged her out into bright sunlight and it is still tough. And when I do get a nice clear pic, the dandruff looks awful. At least now she doesn´t seem to have any but it does stand out when a dark pig does.
That´s fantastic, KM. I must see if I can dig up a torch to try it.
On a slightly connected note, my camera´s doing strange things I don´t understand. I take pictures which are beautifully clear, with the colour apparently perfect (on the preview pane), but then when I transfer them to the computer they´re a lot darker. I´ve had to use Adobe to lighten them, but then the quality is affected. Anyone know what I (or the computer) could be doing wrong?
(Tallahassee´s gorgeous, BTW.)

Ooh! I just noted my new title. Fangs a lot, Lynx!

KM-
Oh, this is too funny!
I think you mean "torchère". "Torchière" sounds a little too much like "torcher" and would litterally mean "a woman who wipes butts".

Black beauties for sure!
Does anyone have any tips for photographing satins? We never could get photos to show just how shiny our Janet was. Her sheen was terrific, but you wouldn´t know that from photos.
