Rob, like your shots very much, beautiful lighting and sharpness, the second one is my favorite one!, the 85mm1.8 is really an amazing lens!

Rob, great saturation and crispness on those shots! Did you use a CPL for them? Mind sharing your EXIF?


John and Denise: great ideas and very cute photos!

Mark, I think both of these are fantastic.

I got my 50 f1.4 back from repair. This is my first attempt at this lighting setup. It is night time so all the light is from strobes. I have two Sunpak 120j outside. One in umbrella and one in soft-box. Inside I have a Vivitar 285 in a beauty dish for fill. Black was not a good choice here. Her belly does not show off very well.
