Default Re: Need C&C on the studio lighting

Rexchun, thanks for the edit. I really do like it. Your edit does give it more color. The only problem is the hair is a little too reddish. Cassy has light blone hair more like the original. Other then that, the skin tone looks great. What plugin did you use? I'd like to give it a try.

Clare, Bill and Jay, thank you for the compliments. I really appreciate them. But to be fair, even though those shots are straight out of the camera, not all the shots looked that good. An example is attached below. In them you can see how the hair light was too bright and caused a lens flare.

As I said, I just received the light kit on Friday and tested things out Saturday morning. I've never taken portraits before and had no idea how to set my camera for external flashes. So I had a lot of trial and error till I found the right exposure setting. Which I'm new at also.

Oh yeah, and Cassy os mad at me for posting these pictures. She just woke up shortly before I had her pose for me.
