Birthday party photos
Ive always used the 580EX flash. This time I took my lighting to a whole new level. Using two alien bees, B1600 and B400. Set the B400 to front and the B1600 to my left 9 oclock position. I bounced the flash off two silver 42 inch umbrellas. Guys Im not a pro, but Im just happy that I shot these photos manually and no sekonic. I was just reading the historogram on the camera. I used a 5DMKII and a 28-70 2.8L set at F4. I still got a ways to go with lighting but Im trying pretty hard here. I dumped the 580EX flash and moved onto a Quantum T5DR w/turbo battery. I was impressed with what a much powerful flash is able to produce. The 580 is excellent in tight quarters.

thank you for the compliment.

Well done
The middle ones seem to get a little underexposed and the next to last one has a lot of shadow issues.
