Strobist info: SB-800 on TTL into 43" Wescott umbrella at camera left and above. SB-600 TTL -0.7EV Behind and above Brent hitting hair for hair light. Fluorescent 5000k Strip lights with 2 bulbs in each one / 4' long. One on each side of him for some side light. 2x3' white posterboard for fill camera right.

So I setup my second flash the SB-800 tonight and tried some shots of Brent. While I really liked the detail in some shot at f/8.0 This pose that I shot at f/1.4 I ended up liking the best. A more creamy/dreamy soft focus shot where only his eyes are in good focus.
