Were you shooting on a white background and just underexposing it???
thanks

The Seamless color is Charcoal, the spill light takes care of changing it

Here is mine... I used an Alien Bee 1600 with a large softbox to my right

thanks.
it was hard getting the OCF to sync with the hello kitty p&s in bright daylight. the flash on the p&s wasn't quite powerful enough to register the IR on the flash trigger. but we made it work. lol

Yet another wedding shot. I'm really loving HSS at distance using the new PW's.

Nice work.

It's funny, I was thinking about this type of shot yesterday, and wondering how easy it would be to have the light and lightstand up really close, and just use CS5's content-aware removal system to just get rid of them in post. Mmmmm, nice.

Very nice considering the strong overhead Sun.

this was my first time really messing with OCF, so the flash comp didnt quite work out as well as i would have liked. but im sure ill get the hang of it. the shadow in the middle is kind of harsh.
i guess thats what i get for shooting in tropical mid day sun. lol.

Exactly. Those are tough conditions unless you're going for a hard light look. This where scrims and diffusion panels come in to play but obviously if you can find some shade or shoot in the later afternoon you're much better off and the headache goes away.

One of the masks used by the band mushroomhead. Just wanted to shoot a couple test shots now. I have some cooler plans for these masks in the summer (this is me in the pic btw, but theyre my best friend's masks)

That is nuts Jordan haha

Love it! Nice shot!
