Very nice Jesus
Thank you for sharing your skills

Thats just awesome Padilla! Lots of people hoped for such thing from such great photographer! Brilliant!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Windpig (and Dave for more links). I surely would have missed these as I don't ever visit the Flash section of the forum. Jesus is a gifted photographer and the images are beautiful.

Thanks Jesus, nice to see a photographer getting it "right" in camera, keep up the great work

Hi Jesus,
May I ask what your photography skills were prior to 5 years ago?
Thanks for posting the videos, very informative, especially for somebody like myself that is trying to learn how to do some basic post processing to add a little pop to a well lighted and exposed image.

Thanks Jesus, your work is superb and inspiring.

Great Images Jesus!
Could you tell us a little about your Metering at the time of shooting? Do you have a favorite flash to ambient ratio?

Big Thanks Everybody!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm impressed, that's for sure.

Jesus,
you have a major amount of natural talent to be able to be where you are in 5 years. I, on the other hand, could probably work all my life and not be there.

Big big Thanks to everybody!!!!!!!,,,
and responding to my favourite ambient ratio it varies between 80 to 60% flash...and most of the time my flashes ratio is 2:1

Will you please send my wife a note about the importance of buying all kinds of gear?

Thanks!

PS, any info on your favorite on-location modifiers would be great, I'm considering a cheetah light.
