Practicing Portraiture at Holmes Lake in Lincoln, NE

[xPhantom]

I've always done a lot of automotive photography, but lately I've decided that I really want to do more portraiture.
So today, I called up a few friends and asked if they'd like to "model" for me so I could practice a bit.

This is what I ended up with:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

the full set is here: Portraiture & Strobist Practice - a set on Flickr

Most of the setups involved 1 SB-600 through a 45" umbrella and 1 SB-600 bare.
#1 and #2 probably would have looked better if I would've set up both of my SB-600's with umbrellas, but the wind was too strong and I didn't have weights or an extra person to hold the other stand up from falling over.

comments and criticism are apprectiated!

Skin edits are really well done. Most stuff I see on here is overdone.
