Some shots for C&C lit by my new softbox

[jeffmoll]

I recently purchased a photoflex brand 36 in. octobox and have been having plenty of fun with it. Here's some of my work with it and I'd like to know what you all think, good or bad.

First, my first attempt at a self-portrait.


next, my favorite camera. My 1Ds Mark III!


and lastly, an abstract fine art image.

You're off to a very good start, Jeff. Nice work! #3 for me among the shots. Question: Did you apply some white balance correction? I'm noticing a very small amount of magenta cast on the images. Or maybe I am just mistaken. Thanks. Congrats on the new toy.

[jeffmoll]

Thanks Jiro! Yes, I do WB adjustment on all my shots. I can't see the cast myself, so I'm not sure where it is. Perhaps I should invest in a spyder...

does this seem better?

well I'm no professional, but the rose on the piano is a lovely concept, and I like that you can see the reflection of the rose on the keys... nicely done

You need to post the self-portrait (nice shot) in HERE

...does this seem better?

A subtle but well applied improvement, Jeff.

Thanks Jiro!
Ok, Rob, I'm adding it to the self-portrait thread.

Do you play the piano, then, Jeff?

Do you play the piano, then, Jeff?

I so wish I did! I know a very little bit but not enough to say I play.
