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...
