^^^ Nice, like the look, especially the steamy(foggy) floor.

Hope that pipe going through his head didn't hurt too much. :-)

If you downsized and uploaded directly I've noticed that sometimes the compression messes up the look of images.

I see... I try to figure out a better way of exporting.

I export to a size that can be uploaded with resizing, and use Lightroom standard output sharpening.

Seems to work.

Actual wedding. This was a real problem-solving situation. Only had 30 minutes to do bride and groom portraits, at 2pm.

Wooopsie..i think this image would be appropriate in another thread (hotshoe flashes), since this thread is for strobes (not hotshoe flashes) ehehehe..anyway, apart from the image being tilted, i love the lighting. Her stare was something to die for! welcome to POTN sir!

I thought I'd seen other posts using OFC in thread. I can move it to a different thread if not; was switching between threads and may have gotten confused. :D

Thanks! Definitely need to straighten the image. Amazing what you miss sometimes.

Thanks very much. Softlighter completely changed my approach to lighting. Love it.
