JohnE, Asurephoto....everybody: MORE! MORE!
Can't rightly say how much I learn and am inspired by seeing your "before and afters..."
John E- Wanted to p.m. you after your "hearmuffs" post, but I'm so new to this board that I felt a little uncomfortable...
Great contributions to a great thread.
Hopefully Santa will be kind and I'll be posting some contributions of my own.
Until then, (if I may be so presumptuous...) let's see some more.
Thanks Shimey,
Thanks for the compliment. Ask questions anytime. I love helping out when I can.

John, thanks so much for sharing your shots, both the setups and the final results. I hope you and Cortney get around to doing a book/calendar of these, I think you'd find a bunch of buyers (I'd want my copy autographed, of course). I love the Vargas-style shots.
Elle
Thanks for the kind compliments Elle. The calendar idea has been mentioned a few times. I'll have to mention it to Kortney. Who knows, it might be fun the create a sample.

Please tell me you didn`t catch the juice live !
Beautiful work.
Thank you!
But in answer to your query... yes AND no. Yes we did catch the squirt. I didn't know it at the time since you can't see it on the LCD viewer and I wasn't tethered since I was up to my chest in water.
When we finished with the model, my daughter squeezed about a dozen lemon slices and I captured the squirt.
When I went to process the original photo, I had found that we had captured the original squirt but it wasn't enough in our opinion, so... I added some of the squirt from another shot.
I think that whoever from B&H that you talked to had never entered a serious studio... I'd say that everybody that I know or seen shooting have always used umbrellas (either shoot through or bounce of (more common) to light a background, unless they wanted a gradation or something... Always umbrellas. I used shoot through umbrellas on the setup I posted here because I wanted a "wrap around" light, something like this, otherwise I'd use bounce umbrellas...
