Thanks Andy, nice of you to say so, I'll put more up over the next few days, (newbie, all excited and that), but just finding my way around the site at the mo, (and photobucket).

Here's an architectural portrait - and a portrait of an architect - shot today with a Canon 1D MkIIn and Sigma 15-30mm f/3.5-5.6 EX at 18mm, 1/200 sec @ f/11, tripod mount. Strobist: 430EX at +2 to camera right on light stand shooting through white umbrella, fired by ST-E2.

Rob, Great balance of light on this one. Did you HDR this or are the halos just a byproduct of the lighting?

There's some light PS layer blending to achieve the final outcome. I didn't want the HDR look, but needed to fill some of the shadow areas. I didn't have time for a full lighting setup - I only had 5 minutes to create the shot!

Thanks Denise, heres a couple more;


This was not posed, she was looking at a field of pigs, (probably hungry),

I Like this one because seconds earlier she said, I always look bad in photos i pose for, (true[]), I much prefer candid ones, then turned away &amp; didnt know i took this one;
