OK - 2 Alien Bees 800's - one with a 36" Octabox - the other as a hair light using the 10 deg eggcrate.

I'm pretty happy with these - what do you think?

Exposure is a bit low. In #1 it's underexposed except for top of her chest. #2 is a bit red. Overall not bad.

They look good to me. I actually think the exposure and color is fine in both.

Sweet new gear for a photogenic new year!

You really need to get a Flickr.

The first one is a bit underexposed, not much but enough.

2nd one isn't bad.

Could be my monitor but they seem to have a magenta cast to it esp the 2nd one.

I really don't think the OP cares anymore, considering this is a 2 year old thread and he hasn't been here since June '07.
