steve, very nice color & contrast. i like the fall-off. was this taken with your cz 35-70? just curious due to the tonal quality.
My first post, but after looking at all the great pictures in this topic, I thought I give it a try with my little Baby Boy. Actually it didn't work out the way it was supposed to, since he turned his head direction reflector instead flash all the time, but I think the Picture is still quite nice:
I'll be commencing a twenty-city tour this September. The seminar is sponsored by Canon and Westcott and is a "Start-to-Finish" concept. There will be plenty of emphasis on simple lighting solutions. More info the tour website at www.thedigitalphotographyedge.com

We have gotten a lot of good response from our neighbors in Europe. We'll try to come over for a tour if we can line up sponsors and such...

Hope to see some of the US crew on our tour; we start in Detroit on the 11th of September. More dates on the website...

Will do. We need to get a good turn-out here in the States and then we'll see how much our sponsors want to help. I shoot for Canon here in the US - I'll be demonstrating the new 1Ds MkII at PhotoPlus in NYC in October...
I did pre-release testing with the 1D MkIII and the new 580EXII earlier this year and produced this image. Three Speedlites; one as a "Silent Master" - emitting no illumination - and two Slaves. One in a Stripbanlk as Key and another bouncing off of the wall as Fill...
