Here is my latest. I decided to do a portrait since this girl is so gorgeous!

For you camera geeks, shot with the Nikon D200, 85mm 1.4 and 3 Alienbees B800 strobes. Settings are...f8, 1/160, white balance set at 5600k (set at the temp of the strobes) and black paper backdrop pulled way back out of the light.

Edited a little with Photoshop to remove some blemishes and smooth a few things out.

Enjoy!

Her hair looks incredible in the pic.

Can Photoshop be used in such a way as to touch up the skin without making it appear one-dimensional, i.e., whitewashed? It looks too perfect, IMO. That's not a criticism -- professional models in magazines look like her, too. Just wondering if this is done on purpose or if it's a limitation/feature of Photoshop or other similar software?

Thanks.

I swear John, if you don't get one of these chicks to simply hold a Polk speaker soon, I will shite on all your threads about this hobby.

You have the ability and unless you want to get 8 hours of an earful about it on the way to Polkfest, there AND back, get F'n hot!

Pretty hair...Pretty eyes....airbrushing my ass, WHERE IS THE POLK SPEAKER?

I feel much better, time for some much needed sleep.

a pic of her holding an LSi9 would be sweet. I'd buy that poster!!

Ok, so how does this sound (so I don't get clubbed to death by Mark)...

A sort of portrait type pic of her holding an LSi7? I'll get her to hold it in her lap sort of hugging it. Cover on or off?

I have some other ideas, but thats the main shot I'll go for. I'll try to get it before Polkfest.

That's probably a much better idea than the LSi9. After all......Ya don't want to hurt her.:D

Lots of leg and nestled under her bosom. Also, make sure she has some nice perfume on. Also, remember Crack Kills.
