Saw those in another thread, fantastic shots.

If you shoot outside a lot and with external lights the 24-105 is a great choice for the coin.

I have a 24-70 F2.8 L II as well as a 70-200 F2.8L II and I still find myself using the 24-105 for most of my outside stuff unless I need long, or really wide.

Its also my go to lens for portraiture with strobes.

These won't be everyone's cup of tea but anyone who's tried to get a decent photo of a fish in a tank, let alone one where you've isolated it from it's environment, will likely know how hard and how long it took before I worked out a technique.............​nobody gives the secret away..............exce​pt me :-)

Excellent as always, Scott. I really like the balance between flash and ambient in the first two pictures above. Looks like the sun was behind the model. Care to share the other details on how you achieved this balance? I'm curious about time of day and where the sun was in the sky, whether you used an ND filter, and aperture and shutter speed used. I also want to know where you find so many hot models, but that's a subject for another thread!

The sun was at 12pm so it was over the model. At 12pm in the high desert the sun is not straight its at an angle. I used an Var Tiffen ND filter and my pack was running about 200ws. shutter is always set to 1/160 sec aperture is almost always set between f/1.2 to f/2.8 iso for these shots was ISO 50.

The ladies contact me to shoot I hardly ever have to find a model.
