New Lights, new Picture :)

[Digital Matt]

Hey gang,

I'm so excited, because 2 320ws Alien Bees strobes arrived today, complete with stands, umbrellas (two shoot through and 1 reflector), and one 24"x36" softbox.

No more homemade light rigs, and bouncing the light off of 50 different surfaces to get a shot.

After a long photo shoot with Marge, I have a lot of nice shots and a lot of processing to do, but here's one we both loved.

(still on the pearls kick )

For this shot I just used the softbox on the left. 1/200 at f/11.
