What are the odds? :dunno A friend of mine calls today and we're talking about his latest project and he says to me that they are all finished except for a few glamour shots of the end product....

I volunteered to help out. :wink

Anyone see any possibilities here?

    OK, here are my thoughts. I think you should come back to Idaho. Your shots just seemed to be at a higher level and caliber.

    Oh...on these shots. One doesn't do anything for me. Two and three are good. The reflection idea is good but the poses of the two men aren't convincing to me or powerful enough to be a plus. I like the geometric artistic feel of the last. It is my favorite of the three. If you could do a retake and get the right "Man" in the right "man pose" (muscular man in t-shirt with smokes rolled up in his sleeve with arms folded looking tough...). OK...I think that totals up to about $.02

    Good luck!

    Must......get.........back........to........................Idaho!

    I completely agree with you. October is a possibility; Christmas is already booked!clap.gif

    As for LPS11 - I'm afraid you may be right. Maybe I could PS a reflection of the Tetons into the truck fender.......now you're talkin'.

    Still trying.....

    I have to agree witht he above assessment. What would be really cool with the colors of the truck is if you could captured a Harley in the reflection! Even if you didn't win the contest, Harley may drop a couple of bills on you for advertising. clap.gif

    Travis, Thanks for the thoughts. I may be able to combine your idea with Shatch's idea and have a muscular dude in a Harley T-shirt in the reflection..... or maybe just me in my Harley shirt.... ne_nau.gif

    Work with what ya got, ya know....

    No problem. How do you like the Alien Bees? I have a single 800 and I'm wishing I just bought the whole portrait setup before I saddled myself with a mortgage.

    I'm really liking the AB's so far. I just got them yesterday - got 2 800's, 2 light stands, 2 carrying bags, 2 radio receivers, 1 radio transmitter, and 2 umbrellas. Customer service was great; one of my umbrellas was the wrong model and they are sending me the correct one and told me to keep the wrong one for my trouble. :D

    I've got absolutely no experience with studio lighting - but so far it's all working exactly like they say it is supposed to. I did the shot of myself in the Harley t-shirt this morning and had no problems....
