Critiquing is easier than doing.
I was playing with my new light setup getting ready for a shoot.
Thought I would post these for C&C.

I'm going to have to start taking notes...

In the first shot I used a three light setup.
Main light on the left at 45 metered to F/11.
Fill light on the right at 45 metered to F/8.
Background light was metered to F/8

The second shot was only two lights.
Main light on the left at 45 metered to F/8.
Fill light on the right at 45 metered to F/4.

Both were shot at
ISO: 100
Shutter speed: 1/125
Aperture: 8.0

I used softboxes on both the main and fill lights.

Thanks for the comments and thanks for having a look.
I'm almost ready to try this on people ;-)a
