Thanks every one, I need to now find a subject to try it on haha I want to keep experimenting with hard key lights and using a ring flash as fill. That is sorta what I did here, but the main light was just an umbrella as far away as I could put it in my garage which was like 7-8 feet. Just gota keep trying stuff out!
Yeah I agree completely with that, I side light almost every thing that I want to have the edgy look. But to really give it an edgy look there needs to be a good amount of shadows to really bring out the hi-lights on the side. If your main light doesn't give the right shadows or is to bright the rim lighting effect doesn't stand out as much. So I've been searching for the best ways to use a main light. The ring flash is good for giving you shadow detail where you need it, because if you have a hard main light you loose some detail in the shadow areas.
Solid shot Corey, diggin the processing and lighting on this shot for sure. I prefer the color version as well...but generally thats what I prefer...haha
And punching like that is a good way to break a thumb
