Wilbur

Wilbur by jellywatson.
This is the look I get when he's happy with me. Or at least amused.

I'm pretty pissed I used a rim light, as it really blew out the edge of his head. I did what I could about the bright-pink translucency of his ears. I worked on it more than I usually would because I liked the face, and the fact that I got his glasses without a reflection!!!

strobist info: one sb-600 behind his head on 1/8 power pointed at the camera. Another sb-600 shot at 1/4 power through white umbrella 45 degrees in front of him and to the left. Fired by pocket wizards

It's a handsome portrait of Wilbur, even with the edge issues! I've never worked with strobes, so I appreciate reading your experiences.

Thanks, Ramparts :). Looking at your photos, I can't believe you haven't worked with strobes!! You should give it a try-it's a blast.
