Hmm. and once again, the web version is way flatter than jpeg viewed on my pc.

Most people area lot more aware of what they look like in a mirror than what they look like in real life. People liked Daguerreotypes because the images are backward like you see in a mirror. They looked just like they were used to seeing themselves.

Ah, but this was very different than the mirror for some reason; I can't consciously pose. I'm quite serious about finding a different haircut place now. I had the beginnings of a beard (movember), but the old 35-105mm was showing me every hair, pore, nose hair, etc. Never realized I have the "Standard accountant haircut; ha! I sound really vain here...not my style at all. I just haven't been the subject of photos in a very long time and the outcome is really weird.

In any case, messing with monolights is great fun; I'm just a horrific subject. I've been an available light / landscape kind of guy. Portraiture seems like an interesting new challenge.

thanks! lucky moment in rather interesting light!

I like the dof and sharpness of the 70-200.....its amazing.....still need to get used to it.....seems to over expose in Av mode too consistently....I haven't had it that long but it's gonna serve me well....it was some what affordable @440 total......opted for it over getting a 43ltd.....didn't have anything fast over 90mm in AF
