I experimented with my new speedlites (SB800 and SB600) one offshoe in the background and another in my hand...These all look OK in color, just a bit bland, so I decided to convert to B&W (it kinda fits his demeanor anyway...) Lemme know what you all think.

1. Gee, where's the flash? I was gonna clone it out, but I realized it didn't bug me at all...

Nice, I like the two flash look. I definitely think flash + shallow dof is the way to go at the rail. The bg actually looks kind of cool in these shots...so it seems the Rail can be tamed (if they'd just get rid of that damn tv/shelf).

#1 is definitely an appealing shot, flash or not, and I love Rob's stare in #4.
