Thanks, there are a few ways to do it, you can use levels, curves and half a dozen others! i just pulled the shadows in curves a little, you can do it in lightroom pretty easy.

Thank you! It's actually Cornado, California.

Maxilite

^^^ Brilliant set!

Scott,

All these shots are excellent. How much of the lighting is the result of the Maxilite? Do you think you could have created the same impact with a different modifier and light, perhaps something from the Paul Buff catalog of options? I understand it the photographer not the tool but how could other tools have been utilized in your creation?
