You mean the one of the bride and the groom? Or the one of Amber in the second post? I underexposed the ambient and used my White Lightning x2400 in both, however, with the bride & groom I used a 43" Paul C. Buff Parabolic Light Modifier (not sure if they even sell that size anymore) and with Amber I used a 47" octobox.

Nice action shot, Ben!
But, what's with all the black speckling? It's especially noticeable between Tilly (guessing on the name based on the image title) and the water. Is it some horrible swarm of gnats? With a 5DII and ISO 200, it can't be image noise, right?!? If it is, some investigation intoRAW conversation, etc.,seems warranted...

Could it be water droplets in shade? Tilly's back end is crossing a section of shade. The water droplets there wouldn't be illuminated like the ones toward Tilly's head (in full sun).

Hmmm I think there's a bit of truth in both of your analyses. There was some sort of plague of horrible fresh water dwelling insects (possible related to Sean's Aunt Edna)following both our dogs around so that may be some of it.
However, I think you'll find it's mud! Don't be fooled by those white feet - if there's mud around she'll find it, and Jack will be 3.4 steps behind.
I did a double check in DPP to check the RAW conversion and the result was very close to ACR. Good pickup though - certainly made me have a closer look after you mentioned it.
Cheers, Ben.

That possibility crossed my mind, but the density is wrong. As you can see from the white ones, water droplets or mud droplets - anything being shaken off Tilly - would be most dense closest to Tilly, and become less dense as they spread out from the source. The black speckles are dense right out to the sides of the image.
Bugs or noise, I guess.

Actually, I used a 380,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 watt/sec continuous light positioned about 93,000,000 miles from the hill slopes in order to get the exposure I was looking for.

Drove around the country side for a few minutes, with my dog.. stopped on a one way road that lead to a small ranch and took a couple pictures. A person drove by staring at me, I assumed he lived at the end of the road.. so I took off as to not start any trouble.

Thanks guys. Yea it was a very smelly salt marsh. Thick with mosquitoes, but also Herons, Egrets, Spoonbills and Ibis. Headed back there in an hour or so for some re-takes. Looking to cut the distance with the Reddish - didn't love the backgrounds on those. Hopefully they'll cooperate. [:P]
Sorry those pics posted so big. Beginner's mistake.

Sean, love, love, love the shots. I attempted to use some of your shots in the past for inspiration, but failed miserably on the lighting aspect. I guess I will have to keep practicing!

You learn much more from failure than you ever do from success. For every picture I post, Itook probably30 shots that session before I got it right (I'm getting slightly better, though, as it used to take 50!). :-)

I wish. He got hung up on keeping his old lenses (2!), one of which is a third party lens and doesn't handle some of the newer electronics.
He got a D90 (and still has his N80), which in all honesty, feels and behaves pretty well. Not as nice as my 7D, but nice, nevertheless.
