I've got a set of Elinchrom Rangers and a set of Alien Bees that I'm testing out. So far, the Bees are my favorite.
This was done with two lights. One on a Brolly box behind the subject with a bit of feathering as almost a hair light. The other was on a shoot through umbrella to camera right.
Very nice portrait Jim,
I like the pose and the lighting is spot on. The Alien Bees are a good choice, they are light, durable, and for the price point, you can't beat it...good show...:cool:
