Shoot 2

 For years, my favorite lens has been my 105 micro.  It made me feel like a hero when I shot with it, and it could cheer me up when my other lenses gave me too much latitude to play with.  With my D2X, my 105 is now a 150mm lens and it's not so friendly anymore.  I purchased the 85mm about a year ago when I found it for sale used (half price) in like new condition.  I tried shooting with it and never got anything useful - including my last shoot.  This time - perhaps the lighting, the makeup and the hair - it really worked out well.

Our first set was the couch with Ola (sp!).  The light was mostly overhead, with a side light to highlights and a kicker lighting up the back wall.  This was my first time with the big hair and Ola is tall. 

The second shoot was with Kat (sp!).  Syx set up a "Natural" light setup - a 500W halogen lamp on post with a scrim in front of it.  Color balance was almost comical, but it worked out well in post production.  These are my favorite shots from the day.

 
Near the end of the day, Syx started to play with more than one model in the setup.

 
  Overall - a lot of fun.  The stylists, hair and makeup and models were all fantastic.
