Thanks man. Yeah I just triggered one Alienbees with Paul C Buff's brand trigger/receiver (they work great) but was too lazy to put receivers on the rim light B800 and Yongnuo, just optical slave'd them (even though I have 3 receivers).

I like they just spray over the tags, rather than washing them off.

I've been really absent lately (most of you probably have no idea who I am anyway ) but with summer and fall ending a few weeks ago, I finally have time to process all the fun stuff from the summer! But before I share, I just like to say that there were a lot of amazing shots in the past few pages that I looked at. Good work everyone!

Here's the beginning of a ton of shots to come:

Only thing I wish I could get rid of is the noise in that wave.

Maybe it's time to get that 5D after all...

I need to calibrate my monitor at home. These don't look as good at work as they do at home and I'm getting ready to start offering for sale...

SamDoe1, on the above waterfall shot, how much is the saturation bumped up in the greens? Just curious, as I have a hard time on my photos determining when enough is enough for green saturation...

Yours looks good.

I'll look when I get home but it's not a whole lot. The area I was shooting in was very lush and green. I did bump it a bit to get that contrast between the water and the foliage but they key to bright greens is to be able to provide that 3D or depth perception to the image with shadows. I used the exposure brush in LR5 to lower the exposure in select areas to give a more 3D effect.

Just jacking up the greens looks like sh1t, as I'm sure you know.

To follow up on this, the green was boosted +15 in LR5.
