First time poster. Although Iam a nikon user, I've been following this thread for about a year. Just got my camera last April and trying to build somewhat of a side job, so any advice is truly welcome. first time using a softbox, Pic of my lil brother.
Strobist:
nikon d90
1/125s - f/5.3 - 70mm
sb600 overhead, 24" softbox

no problem with the nikon.. it is just a tool.. and we are all about the light

Saw it on flickr, Pham.. great job on the post-work.. She looks a bit like Janel Moloney.

Nothing too creative (unless you count 'Twilight'-ing myself in post), just froze my butt off, and nervously hoisted the X1600 + 22" HOBD ~10 feet up in 20mph winds..

WL X1600 @ 3/4 + HOBD.. @ 1:30 in the afternoon.

DODGE and BURN..

wow.. just learned how to do it last night.. OMG it makes such a difference..

just shows you how much photography now is about a good file and good post work

layers

1 50 percent grey blend mode to overlay to darken (use burn tool)
2 50 percent grey blend mode to softlight to lighten (use dodge tool)
3 average color cast inverted to correct white balance
4 overlay high pass @ 2 pix to bring back the edges
5 original with shoulder tan lines corrected
6 original with skin blemished corrected

lighting was elinchrom Quadra camera left about 4 feet @ 1.3 power with deep octa (39 inches)

You know whats funny? I have a degree in digital design, and I know the fundamentals of art and photography but youtube and forums changed my life lmao.

not sure how i feel about this edit yet... also kind of a cliche' pic but obviously the client gets what the client wants. Really wish i could get a 16:9 crop on here without cutting into him
