Here, this is what it was like

Mrs P will be happy if I say lets go to the outlets i bet - thanks

Thanks guys Brash, cold part of the world, it was frikking freezing all day

background light not worried about being too close but my lights to model ratio is very close These two might might show what I mean, not a white background but shows my lighting setup - twin softbox, about a meter and a half away http://vimeo.com/28999663 the following one has mild nudity -...

not keen on this one either, maks the model look frumpy and blah

okay, as a rule of thumb, if you have blinkies, dont try to get the whole background blinking, that will be way over exposed, try to get blinkies around the center part of the background, feather the light, and flag it so it does not spill forward. thinking about the inverse square law, I often...

lightroom first is the only way to fly. Do you only have one light ? - was it possible to put a light up high somewhere and trigger it remotely ? - with something like this you really need to pick a spot, light it manually and then take the photos, ttl on wedding dresses and foreground and...

a great set of photos, love the last shot, guessing on a monopod with trigger release. clients bound to be over the moon with these images, stunning

Hi there, I think you have over lit the background, there is a fine line between blowing it out and overlighting it, when you over light it, you get bleedback and the light degrades the images, I see that in some of the images. You only need to light it between 1 and 1 2/3rds stops over to...

Drumtochy Castle just south of Aberdeen - stunning stunning venue - yep sky was blown but didnt have enough flash power to kill it as the sun was very very low in the sky up there
