Let's see what you have...
Sean, ILOVE the bottom left! Is that where you underexpose the background and pop the people with lights? I suckat that stuff...not the underexposing part. I can do that like nobodies business..just not on purpose[]
Words get in the way of what I meant to say.

Buff Parabolic Light Modifier (not sure if they even sell that size anymore) and with Amber I used a 47" octobox.
You've been a busy lad Sean!
Here's one I took yesterday, nothing amazing this week as I've been on night shift and have been in sleep mode most of the time.
5D Mark II, ISO 200, 1/4000sec, 70-200mm f/4L IS @ f/4 & 200mm

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...

Sean, hi!
I like Fiona-like picture upper left.
Another amazing shot is down left. What did you use to light the hill slopes? (I can't imagine electricity bill amount)[Y]

wireless control?
