Thanks everyone. The best part about #1 is I got to use all 5 speedlights, 2 umbrellas, small speedlight softbox, 1/4 " grid, 3 light stands, blue gels, corded remote, my new cactus v4 remote triggers, a pencil, AND Sharpies. How much fun can a person have in one day!:D
In #1, you have the book of one of my favorite photographers of all time, Joe McNally, the master of flash. Both are nice images, but I have a problem with some blown highlights in both of them. If I were to pick one out of the two, I would go with #2.
