Set up 2 Metz 58 Speedlights, Gary Fong Cloud (Main light) and light sphere (Back Light) plus one fill reflector. Three TT5 II Pocket wizards for speed light control with an AC3 to balance outputs. Two Pocket Wizard flex units to control shutter function.
Just one comment on the lighting, since you were testing stuff, you say - the catchlight seems too far to the left - there is a highlight in the left eye (on the right as one looks at it) which, for me, appears too deeply in the shadow. If whichever of the 17 lights you used for the catch was over to the right (as the photog sees it), that highlight would seem more natural to me. Possibly its also too intense - down a stop or three. But otherwise, it looks like it's taken with natural high-window light, my personal favourite style.
Very good, Wayne. It's been a sort of mild winter here in South Dakota. More snow than last year though.
DA is giving me fits and either not letting me comment or not letting me favorite or both so I been laying low until the bugs get worked out of this new upgrade
The winter here has been more normal for us. The coldest we have had as with wind chills in the -47ºC (-52ºF) range with temperatures around -30-37ºC. Nothing has lasted for very long though, (A few days as opposed to a few weeks) so that is different from past winters.
I have not noticed any major problems at dA, but then I spend only a few minutes here in the morning, and then look at some submission in the evening if I have time. I am almost never active on the weekends now, My ow things have changed.
