Lighting: Not exactly wildlife and not exactly portraiture...
Couldn't figure out where this should go, but aside from comments like "you need a better background" and "your DOF sucks", which I realize, I'd be interested in your lighting comments. This is one of my first shots with a two-strobe setup. BTW, this is "Magic"

Ratio favored to left umbrella light.

Drag the family in there and make em pose.
That's the idea. Actually, I suspect I'm going to be getting a wireless controller setup shortly, so it'll make it easier to do all of us. But in the meantime, I'll drag 'em in one or two at a time...kicking and screaming. I took a few samples of the kids as their mom was trying to get them out the door. Not good enough to post, tho. While the lighting was pretty good, I didn't have enough DOF to cover my daughter in front of my son. Need to stop down a couple next time. But I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Besides, I know you have a three light setup w/ fancy background. And I must say, I'm a bit cheesed-off you didn't invite me to that party, yff.
Okay, so here's my beginner's setup (just got the stand/umb today):
Nice lens shadow, huh?

At the last minute, the no-host became hosted. Which meant toasted
Over at the Del Monte Building in Sunnyvale--nice place.
One word. Rental. For the background. One of my co-workers owns (and helped
setup) the lights. But the stands were .... . Almost lost the softbox

He'd run away crying after seeing me.
