First time trying strobes

[Michael Carlson]

I wanted to get everyone's feed back, good or bad, dig it or hate it. Just started working with multiple strobes and being a poor college student, I don't own the best equipment but I try to work with what I have. Let me know what you guys think!

Oh and for some reason links from Flickr don't seem to work, if anyone knows how to fix this problem I would love to know.

with the 50 and the 600 you should be able to get great lighting...you should try positioning them in different areas. I kinda like the 1st one, but as for low key lighting goes its too flat. try giving more light to the front of the subject and the second one as either a back lighting or hair light to separate from the backdrop/wall whatever you used...

btw love the stuff on your blog regarding the weather

and welcome to TPF!

The first shot has the most potential. I'm not sure why you're not using a key light, but it is good to experiment. Also not sure if the flare is on purpose, but I kinda like it. You could recover the first shot to a reasonable level with some PP. Beautiful model, BTW.

Thanks for the input, I am always looking for feed back on what I can improve on.

Thanks for the welcome and the kind comments about my blog. Severe weather season is over for the time being but I will be sharing more weather photos as spring comes around.

Thanks again!
