Thanks Julie! I'm starting to warm up to them. Amazing what a little LR and PS can do.

I think you did great salvadging the situation. I'd be happy with these, as should they. These are nice!

I've had a few moments. Like Jeff said above, I routinely stick my cam in Av mode and hss the flash for fill doing outdoor portraits. I was doing a family's Easter pics and a little girl was posed so cute holding a baby chick showing it to her sister or cousin. I went to snap, and d'oh, meter buried. Shot anyway and glad I did. She moved before I could change the flash back to hss mode. Over expossed by about 2.5 stops but with photoshop it came out neat. If I'm not mistaken they got a big canvas print of it. I think that's the only time I've messed up for the better.

Now that is a great save!!! You have to love it when mistakes turn to gold.

... poor you!!!! Haha, but I do agree, I love the pics. I think they came out great, and if you wouldn't have mentioned your light-story, I would have never guessed you had ANY issues during that shoot + what a handsome looking family!
