11m ISO 400 f/5.6 1/200s





kinda looks soft on here, not sure why, looks fine at larger resolutions

I'm glad it wasn't too cold to shoot this weekend. Used a Canon 580EX in a 14" Lumodi beauty dish. I was pleased with the results.

I was pleased with the results.

As you should be... Fantastic work Sean. I always enjoy seeing your work.

Sean,


In the last shot, something about the clear seperation of subject and the far-ground gives me vertigo. I feel like she's about to fall into it.





& nice lighting in all of them.

Here are a couple of my own:











This is my Canon 20D IR, with my 70-200 2.8 attached. My affection for the subject probably skews how I see it. She's a little lens shy, so I was trying to get her used to having cameras pointed at her all the time. This one came out better than I'd have expected.





On the flip side:





I have no affection for this subject. He was a producer at an event I was asked to shoot. I'm not sure why I'm so fond of this one.


The above was with my 5DII and 85 f/1.2.

I really like this one. I like the somewhat subdued backlight coupled with the strong fill. Well done!

Last week I took spontaneoussomephotos of my lovely wife. Flash (580EX) used indirect over the wall. Camera EOS 5D Mark II with EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM. What do you think about the lightning and the b&amp;w editing?
(f4.5 and 1/200)

I like them. I really like the catchlights in her eyes (especially on the first one).
