    Thanks, donald. Great colour on the zinnia. :]

    I had two strobes to the right set up for standard side light/rembrandt light and the backdrop is a light modifier lit with a third strobe.

    Out in the garden today now that summer has finally made it to the UK (not that it will likely last very long!)

    A purple flower in the garden:

    D800 + AF-S 300mm F4 w/TC14E. ISO2000, F5.6, 1/800s.
    If I take a good photo it's not my camera's fault.

    Squamishphoto: I could tell the lighting set-up from the shape and placement of the catchlights in the eyes as well as how the shadows fall. I did recognize the "Rembrandt Triangle" on the far side cheek. To me what is unexpected (and makes this photo stand out) is the third light from the background and illuminating the left edge of the face, filling the left cheek hollow and defining the throat in the neck. Really beautiful light from behind washing across an area of the face so often just in shadow. Tell us more about that third light. Was it directed on the background to turn the background white and the light I mention filling the shadows a reflection off the white background or did you direct some of that third light to wash across the subject's face? To me that third light is the key to the effect on the face and I wonder if it is 100% reflected off the background or comes from a softbox set to turn the background white and to spill some light directly on the shadow side of the fact from a source behind the subject or is the strobe set behind the white backdrop to shoot through it?

    Gees, the photos we're seeing here are just amazing!! Thank you all for posting.

    Resuming my 100 Strangers Project after re-thinking my program.
    No. 6 - Ziarra, on Palm Beach. A singer who's revisiting her appreciation for photography. I got the feeling that she's no stranger to modeling either. She has big dreams and I wished her well. This is a crop from a full body photo. Thank you D800!

    @Tumbleweed Interesting, it looks like a giant on his back with a big belly.

    Squamish, very nice, definitely one of your best I've seen. Can I ask how you edited it? Really like the colours.

    Pitchblack, cool shot.

    Most of you probably saw this from my previous post but I'm posting it here as well because I really like it :p

    mihaich: great pet photo.

    Sage - the dried leaves are the spice used in turkey dressing.

    DSC_1584
    D5100, kit lens, 55mm at f11, SB600 flash mounted to side on bracket.

    If you look at this enlarged image and scroll down the stem to where the bottom flower attaches to that stem you will find an ant. Quite impressive sharpness from that kit lens! http://www.flickr.com/photos/76080384@N03/8942929649/sizes/k/

    So my stepdaughter walks in wearing this red wig and says lets shoot. We set up a couple of lights, drape a canvas over a couple of stands and had fun.
