I recently purchased some strobes and yesterday after finally purchasing some light modifiers and background paper, I was able to try them out. Please C&C. Keep in mind, this is my first attempt at strobes. Good and bad comments welcome. Fire away!

Apr 23, 2010 11:10 | #4 I used a glamour glow preset from nik software. Should I remove it? I guess it made the pic soft. If I remember correctly, I shot it at f5.6. 5D MK II | 7D | 70-200L F4 IS | 24-70L F2.8 | 17-40L F4 | Σ 85 F1.4 | Σ 50 F1.4 | Σ 15 F2.8 Fisheye | 2 Alien Bees 1600 | Alien Bee 400 | 580 EXII | Cybersyncs

I used to use it alot.lol.but it needs to be used lightly in conjunction with other filters to make it believable., Take the glow off and repost! you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.
