Thanks Joe! I just read the tutorial and learned much! Mainly that I don't have enough patience for hummingbird shots. ;-) Seriously though, the setup info was great. Much appreciated for pointing me in a direction.

A touch dark on the subject, but the DoF and composition is great. Nice. :)

Day 4 @ 50mm

You're right about the angle - just seems to be the wine glass - like the pic is skewed. The bottle seems straight. Light balance seems to be a tad on the yellow side. If you found any of that helpful, please send me a bottle of that wine. ;-)

Ok - obviously and admittedly, I don't know what I'm doing with the camera settings much of the time - I just try stuff that works and I know the basics of what affects exposure. So-- f22 because anything less WAY overexposed and I can only set the shutter speed to about 250 before the timing is off with the lights and I get a black band or a complete miss. I would like to get a good flash shot at f2.8 or less - maybe the lights are a billion candlepower - whaddo I know? :/

I'm very grateful for the comments though - it tells me there is something wrong somewhere and I need to learn more if I want to get these right. THANKS!

This is an excellent bw portrait - nice job.
