well tried some lighting for the first time

So I was given a set of lighting for free about 7 months ago. I decided today would be a good day to break it out. So I did some test shots with the wife and kid.

I have zero experience working with any sort of lighting gear.

all the lighting is yinyan brand

let me know what you think.

HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'image/gif' | Byte size: ZERO | PHOTOBUCKET ERROR IMAGE

The exposure of the subjects is fine, but I don't like the way they melt into the background. Was the original background black or did you photoshop it away? It looks a little photoshopped to me, but either way a hairlight would bring some seperation between subject and background.

Hope this helps,

Phil

It does help, I wish I had a hair light........lol

thanks for you help.

oh and the back ground is black
