    Thanks Roger!


    The Soflighters make a real nice catch. They are almost perfectly round and have the diffuser on the front too. I really, really like them. I have the 36" and the 60". I highly recommend them.

    Here's a few I shot last night after dinner and a BIG bottle of pinot grigio. Canon 1D Mk II, Canon 85mm f/1.8 at f/2.2, ISO 400, 1/60th on Manual, WB 5200K, using ambient and one CF5500K through a small umbrella.

    I recently purchased a 14" Lumodi beauty dish. I tested it out this weekend and was quite impressed with the results. Since it was quite cramped in this location, I used the 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5. The second flash firing on the background wasn't used in the 1st and 3rd shots.

    Thanks Sean, Keith and Rob. Your work is inspiring Thanks to your motivation I ended up taking one more self obsessed click, of myself. Heres an attempt at B/W


    Cheers!

    This was simply a test shot I did this afternoon. I wanted to see if I could kill the ambient enough to see detail in the clouds while still exposing the subject (me) fairly well. I used a circular polarizer (to make the colors pop a bit), and only used 1/2 power on the 580EX. However, I didn't like the composition the way it was shot. In the end, I cut out most of the sky by cropping it in an anamorphic widescreen format. I'm still not 100% happy with my pose, but sometimes I just have to let the little things go... :-)

    I am new to the website and find it invaluable. I am a new photographer purchasing my first SLR a couple of months ago. I have a few shots of my kids. I will keep them small and sourced from Flickr. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


    All shots were taken with my Canon XSi.
