_MG_5021 two flashes on background

Behind Ricky, my Sunpak 383 and Vivitar 283 aimed at the white paper towards the center of the paper, both in manual mode. In front of Ricky I have a 580ex in a Photoflex Q39 16 x 22 softbox on his right and Westcott Apollo softbox on the right with another 580ex in it. Also have a Canon 430ex as a hairlight on his right. I had no correcction to make on the white paper, which I ran on the floor. Have to get some Plexiglas to put over it. Just have to figure out where to buy it. Canon flashes triggered with ST-E2. Sunpak and Vivitar triggered with optical slave triggers beneath them. Only editing was cropping and fixing up his left eye which had a fuzzy glint due to the last Westcott softbox on that side. I "borrowed" the glint from the other eye, flipped it and did a bit of eye color cloning so that it didn't look like a copy.

Fantastic that you didn't have much post processing to do!! Check lowes, or home depot (this is where I bought mine) for the plexiglass, you should be able to get a 3x4 foot piece for approx $25

The light is excellent, the expsoure is on the mark.

You got this white background just right, Isabel! That's great, not having to do any editing on the white background! Look around for a sign shop that could get you the clear plexiglas. My Dad owns a sign shop and I'm going to have him order me a piece.
