It looks like that it's too bright there and she couldn't, wouldn't, open her eyes.

may be right about the brightness but she's definitely a squinter (she said so herself and seen her other pictures lol)

^Why would you quote all those images just to say that...? Haha

The light looks a little bright/harsh to me, too, and she is definitely squinting, but they still have a nice feel to them! Nice work. Did you use any light modifiers?

Because:

1. if I quote only the text, it goes "At f/7.1:", which is weird.
2. if I quote only one picture, people think I'm talking about only one picture.
3. if I quote nothing at all, people may get lost whose pictures I'm talking about.

Well the people who can't figure that out are,... A little,... Slow.

Don't worry about them or what they think :P

Yeah, it was my first time using the AB beauty dish. It was sort of fast paced because she was in some sort of hurry and I ended up getting kicked out of the park because I needed a permit. Have you guys ever had that happen to you?

Personally it's never happened to me, but I've heard of it happening many times. Also, next time you use the beauty dish, try to get it up high and down at an angle (I know the hat in those shots would ruin it) but I'm talking about just for any 'ol shoot. I think you'll like the effects.

I know I do, that's just about the only way I do it :P

prospect park in brooklyn

not so much a alien bee light user. but i just ordered my first items from them

i have a CSR transmitter and a CSRB receiver on the way. i hope i made the right decision in buying this transmitter/receiver combo as it is my first one.

I just traded my 430EX II + $50 for a AB1600!! Not sure which modifier to buy first

Here's one shot from yesterday's shoot. I'll post the better ones later.
