Hey blackhearted, I didn't know you hung out in here too. Really nice images. The first one does it for me. And the body shot too. I use tungsten light for everything I can get away with. Which unfortunately, isn't much these days, since I'm more or less forced to use flash in the studio to avoid color balance problems and make sure the damn clothes are in focus. But that's another story. But tungsten rules. When they asked the legendary photographer Horst what advice he'd give to aspiring photographers, he said "Get 2 tungsten lights and spend a few years learning how to use them". Still excellent advice, IMO. Now..... what you need to do next (LOL), is try a body shot with a light BEHIND her.... You'll get an amazing silhouette effect, believe me. mac
