As a matter of fact these are a few of my first shots with studio flashes period. Any and all advice is welcomed.

Oct 25, 2006 07:11 | #5 Thank you for the comments. Yes I am lucky to have such a wonderful model. I bought an 800 for main and 400 for things like hair and background light but not yet sure how that setup goes so that I don't overpower my desired look. Still learning ratios. l Canon 20D and 30D; Canon and SIGMA lenses; Alien Bees 800&400; Canon 420EX&580EX

D.CraigFlory Goldmember 1,333 posts Joined Sep 2006 More info | Your color balance is good and your lighting ratio is excellent. I'd only change three things. #1 You need light on the background. #2 Lower your key light just a touch ... you almost have a perfect loop lighting. #3 Take out the secondary catch light. You should end up with only one catch light. D. Craig Flory PPA Certified, Cr.Photog.,

Oct 26, 2006 07:36 | #11 WOW! thanks for the great comments. Coming from people whose threads I have followed means a lot to me. PIXI I agree about the hair light, hope to work that out in the set-up. About the backdrop, I was so excited when the flashes came in that I just grabbed one and threw it up (kinda like a kid with a new toy...who needs instructions the first day? LOL). I know I have lots more learning and tons of practice to do so I hope things get better from here. Canon 20D and 30D; Canon and SIGMA lenses; Alien Bees 800&400; Canon 420EX&580EX
