Cool shots! Lens?

Thanks! I've been using the 35mm f/2 pretty much ALL the time. The lens in the picture is a 16-35 L

izthistaken - love the way you process skin tones, it's really grown on me. (probably best on males only lol)

Thanks! Yeah, the gritty look isn't flattering on females.

Lol I tried but goes to show how differently we shoot... my background is like 3 or 4 stops brighter than yours it seems...

I always bump the clarity up.

It looks close. Bring your fill light up and your recovery, but watch for haloing. Then just adjust your settings from there to your likings. I think saturation is down too. Can't recall.

[5Toes]

When you use flash, shortening the shutter time will be the only thing to darken the background. Increasing shutter speed will lighten the background.... unless of course your flash or flashes are being used to brighten the entire space. But all things staying constant, while using flash, SHUTTER SPEED alone affects the level of ambient light.

Actually..aperture and ISO also control ambient light. Shutter speed does not adjust flash light.

But, yes, you are correct.

I started off in photography shooting bmx. I havent ridden in a good while so it feels great to be back on the bike and shooting pics of it.
