Shot a party hosted by this beautiful young lady on Friday. Got there early to do some shots with my full lighting setup (which is just one light and an octobox )

Excellent shot, like everything about it.

I agree! Everything about it is great.. Very nice

pretty good shot w/ the AB800... makes me wanna order one from their website right now. How is the light working out for you?

Oh Gee looks like a really tough day at the office... DOH

Nice image.

Les

Great shot indeed

I love the expression and pose and lighting with one little critique. I think the highlights may be a TINY little over exposed.

WOw, grrrrrrrr ATE!

I was thinking the same thing, just a little hot.

It's a wonderful shot. Hopefully she will host more partys so we can see more.

nice shot, awesome host thanks for posting

Michael,
You may have been going for a high key effect, and if so, then your image is perfect.
However, I tried rescuing a tiny amount of detail in the highlights. If you would like to know my process, just let me know.

Very pretty!!!

Drisley .. you're obviously on an uncalibrated LCD
Take a look at how you butchered the photo on a normal monitor for a change.
First off there is no HOT highlight on her face to begin with and Second your EDIT looks like you've added a spec of Dirt onto the face. Just because your LCD cannot display halftones does not mean that the world can't see them.

I keep telling people BEWARE OF BAD/UNCALIBRATED LCDs for photo applications and yet everyone keeps switching to el-cheapo LCDs claiming they are better. Hook them up together at the same time and LOOK at what you're switching to.

[EDIT] Yes the pants do look better in Dresley's version, but there is a dark blotch on her face. So I would go with his edit on part of the image

Thanks everyone! As for the highlights being a little bright, that was intended. But on my calibrated monitor they don't seem blown. After seeing the pants in drisley's version, I think I'll go back and mask them off. They look better in his. Thanks again!
