I shot my first roll of very simple portraits using the softbox as my main-light and a slaved vivitar 283 to light a white backdrop. contact sheet: http://www.faneuil.net/softbox_test.jpg Nice, but I wasn't thrilled with the results - they look a bit flat to me. Any critique (with lighting technique in mind) would be appreciated. The pictures are not supposed to be enthralling - my family relented to my modeling requests as there was nothing to do on a drizzly Sunday. BTW - my wife shot the pic of me. technical: all pics taken with R7, 90 elmarit, TCN (rated at 320) thanks Eric - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
