I've been browsing through a lot of images on the net lately, but this one keeps coming to my mind. The light, the pose, the simplicity of it just make for a beautiful experience. And thanks also for sharing the setup. Thanks for sharing this wonderful image.

" So what about the power that you use for the softbox and strobes? Interested to know how do you determine the setting on this" I also wondered how you had worked this out. So, i'm assuming that you had your strobes set to iTTL or manual settings from the lowest output. And camera set on manual. I'm new to using strobes and learnt a lot from your article...thanks for posting. Regards, Martyn. Hello John,

Now I'll be forever paranoid about that in my own work!! Very interesting post, especially pointing out the subtle shadows from the various lighting.

I do still use a light meter from time to time, but most of the time I am just going by the look of things on camera. I am also a big fan of the on camera histogram. It's a good way to see where your highlights are registering. You can't completely trust the the LCD screen on your camera. If it looks perfect on that bright little screen, you may actually be under exposed. The histogram let's you see exactly where things sit.</strong> @ Jim (and everyone else interested in strobe power) – Comment 57

I can't wait to look at your other posts. I'm sort of a newbee and trying to learn about light and I think you gave me some really good insight. I'm having a blast shooting and learning and with such a generous community of photographers to share it is a real pleasure.
