my session with "Miss Indiana - National America"

She contacted me for some 3/4 shots for upcoming events.

super young lady.. "Cultural Anthropology and Sociology Major with a minor in Dance."

i used the pocket wizards with my 580EXII.. the 430 miss fires more often..
loaded up the new firmware..seems to do better..

1.

Super Sweet photos, looking good. I think your as good as Tony now.

Are you liking the new pocket wizards? Shooting in ETTL? or manual still?

misfires on pocket wizards. that's new to me. are these the new ones?

btw, nice shots. i find background of the one on the railway bit dark.

Nice set of photos!

You and Tony have got this down to a tee!

Do you think photos like this can be achieved with anything other than an "L" series lens?

i think so.. my 50 1.4 puts this out.. i just used the 70-200 because i wanted more flat looking shots.. but actually the 50 1.4 will get you even sharper and narrower depth of field..

i am too lazy at times to walk in and out.. so the zoom is my favorite..

hope it helps..

phamster

looks great. only thing is #4...

her left armpit is blown out and is distracting to the overall picture. other than that, i like this series!

Nice shots phamster.

how many lights are you using? I was thinking maybe a hairlight for some of these...?

Hey Pham good stuff man. It's just not fair that you've got supermodels to shoot now and I'm over here practicing on a mannequin and my cat.

number 4 seems like am awkward pose for her. but all these images are great! go indiana!

phamster is now a celebrity in his own right now folks.
Soon we will be seeing phamster shooting Sean Connery with some Profotos

Great set Phamster... Fantastic use of lighting...

i just might try that one on another shoot.. hair light is just another light to worry about.. but might make a difference.. thanks ray
