Playing with my new light kit and Hope was nice enough to pose for the camera!
I'm loving these lights. Finally I can get the reflections in her eyes without blowing out the white fur, and still be bright enough to keep the detail in the dark half of her face, and still keep the background almost pure black!
I'd love to get into photography as a job.

I'd love to know more about the lighting setup! Hope's a gorgeous girl, you couldn't have asked for a more beautiful (and, apparently, patient!) model to work with. Those calico colors are a really wonderful way to test with, as you said... whites, darks, tones in between...
I picked up this lighting set: ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B.....UTF8&psc=1 ) and have it set up in a pretty close 3-point setup. Like in this picture: ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/28671598/ ) but cut the distance between the stool and the lights in half. Then I black out the room other than the studio lights for better control. Overhead light is set pointed a bit at the camera so it doesn't shine on the backdrop, allowing the black background to be darker than her black fur. It also allows the tips of the ears to have a slight highlight and stick out. I have the left at full power to light the dark half of her face. But this left too hard of shadows on the right, so I have the 3rd light balancing her out.
The lights are neat. Instead of one powerful bulb, each light box holds 4 standard bulbs. This makes it easier to replace stuff, and you can control the light power by just not plugging in a light or two.
The picture was taken on a Canon 60d, using the Canon 50mm f1.4 lens. ISO 160. 1/80 sec exposure time, and f2.8.
