Ha. Great expression on the above picture.
Here is one of mine from the bank steps.
I wish that I had put the soft box a little more to the left to get a little extra fill. But the set up was pretty simple for those who don't remember it.
A soft box more or less in front of her set at 1/2 power. A bare speed light with a 1/4 cto gel to the far right.
I think I tried to get the ambient about 1/4 step lower than the flashes.

My fave pic, even though it's not strobist:
A transcript of my conversation:
"So what do you think Ben?"
"Pretty nice. When do the tops come off?"
Swear on a stack. Ben Franklin is a dirty old man. Then he wouldn't come over, which would've been awesome..

Lots of ambient orange light coming from huge reflected glass from a building across the street as we all remember.
SB 28 1/2 power, 3/4 CTO gel, in Photoflex Softbox left behind the column.
SB 27 1/2 power w/ 1/4 CTO gel to the right coming in diagonally.
Triggered with Skyports.
Post Processing
I felt the original file had a 'painting' quality to it so i wanted to accentuate that to some degree. I like some aspects of HDR techniques but generally dislike 80% of the results. However, for this photo, the HDR resulted in a fairly decent image. However, people doesn't look great in HDR (except in some cases). So, for this image...
I did my usual work flow of contrast, detail, noise reduction etc. I then exported it from light room to edit in Photoshop. Then I opened Photomatix and processed the HDR version from the original RAW file and saved it to a jpg. Both files were 16bit.
I then opened the HDR jpg in Photoshop and copied the layer on the the original output from Lightroom. I blended the layers a bit, the HDR was on top so I made it 70% opacity. Then I completely erased the HDR layer over the model so she didn't look fake and grainy. I dodged and burned certain parts to make a cool contrast.

Awesome - I thought it looked a bit HDRish, but Marina still looked natural so I was wondering. Very cool effect, and it suits the mood (I too dislike HDR 90% of the time)
