We had a lot of fun with this concept, the model is both pretty and a lovely person to work with and our HMUA and Henna artist is wonderful. The portraits are primarily for her portfolio in fact. http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/158919214 This is the main gallery from our shoot here. We came up with some fun costumes for our boho/bellydancer theme. http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/kmtg Hi Geoff, Each new gallery and new model posted illustrates how wonderful you are improving your style and the image qualities you're producing. The photos we see these days have a "high-class look" model direction and certainly great improvements of "LIGHTING USE!" Compared to your early days with the S2 and lighting apparatus and I believe "model class and experience!" In any event one can offer a great big congratulations on the overall improvements of abilities and final products! Nice to see the improvements as you don't get them without a great deal of work and shooting again, again and again! And a whole bunch more! GOOD ON YOU LAD! Keep them coming as they're always indeed a pleasure to look through. cheers, ted The 2.5 120 lens is fabulous for portraits of course. I didn't get the CS version in order to save some money. I do use that function a lot with the standard 70 lens though. For outside location shoots, I have discovered the high speed sync functions available with the dedicated flash gun. So that will be fun to experiment with TTL and controlled fill there. Almost everything I'm shooting now is with this system and it is actually a little strange to use the M stuff now when I do! Getting close to 10,000 frames with the S2 now. Lots of work with it in my galleries, anyway.
