My wife's sister and her boyfriend came down to visit from Canadia. This is my first time shooting canadians, if you ever get a chance shoot a canadian. :barb

    Thank you, for the response. Here's my lighting setup for the shoot. Kept everything pretty much the same across the board, and moved the reflector around as needed.

    Don't get blown away by my high-res vector mapped................ chicken scratch ne_nau.gifwink:D

    Great job! Guess I am safe...no canadian here :D I like #6 and #8. What process did you use on 8 and the last one you posted if I may ask? And thanks for the chicken scratch picture. It is helpful to see the set up and a picture from it at the same time.

    One more from the series....

    I received my Wacom IntuosIII tablet and had a go with this set. If you're serious about digital photography/photoshop, this is really a must have tool.

    I compare it to sculpting with a fine grade tool as opposed to a hacking away with a mallet.

    Thanks Sandy,

    Exposure and color balance was spot on right out of the camera thanks to my Sekonic L-358 (love it), used Amy Dresser type technique dodging specular highlights and burning shadows using curve adj layers. Fine tuned with another D&B layer this time using overlay/softlight technique. Flatten then duplicate a new layer, desaturate, set to soft light mode, then high pass @ 150%. Duplicated high pass layer set opacity to 50% the masked the face and skin. Sharpened as final step.

    Hope this helps.
