Paid a visit to my frequently photographed neighborhood pets today, with the intention of getting photos of animals with backlighting, and to make use of the excellent weather and evening light. I think I succeeded :)
    
Comments/CC appreciated, will return also. |

Nice shots, I particularly like the second kitty shot and the dog. Although you are wanting the warm evening glow (yellow) I think that it is a tad bit too harsh on them. I would play around with adding a bit of blue and cyan to make the cat's coat whiter for example.
Hope this helps, will leave a few comments on the shots too.

Number 3 is excellent. Wonderful lighting. When I see this one, I definetely want to be a cat.
I also like number 2 although the cat could use a little bit more contrast.

Azul, it sounds like you're describing chromatic abberation, which can happen if lenses aren't coated with some kind of material to prevent it. A lot of point and shoot cameras suffer from that, in fact my 70-210 does to some degree. It's much worse with harsh winter light and snow on the ground, and tends to be worse with the lens at its maximum aperture also.
There are ways to correct it in PS, though - try going into Hue/Saturation and decreasing the saturation of Magentas to -100 or so.
You can also use Reduce Noise in CS2, and click 'reduce color noise', which should help. If not, you can always take the sponge tool and desaturate the problem areas. |
