I am far from getting mad about critiques.....I desperatly need the help as being kinda close, but knowing something is not right is making me mental.
I really need input/critiques as I cannot get over the hump and figure out exactly what I am not doing right....
I believe every shot has a hair light, and some you all will see the flare, which I do like on ocasion, but the suggestion of using a grid/snoot is one I guess I'll have to investigate.....
The worst part is I am using 3 lights, one as an ineffective hair(lol), one camerra left which was supposed to be fill, and one camer right supposed to be a main...
I was using a small softbox on the hair light, and eitherr umbrella's or softboxes for the main and the fill. The ratios of the light are just guesses and I knew they were not right, hence my post trying to figure it out.
I am guessing that the lightmeter I bought, yet have not used might come in handy here to get my ratios right.
What happen most times is I have to set up all the gear then break it down after the shoot, so we usually get right to work shooting, albiet badly....
This weekend I setup in the basement so I can leave the equipment up for a few days and play with figuring out the light meter and the ratios. I have also hit amazon for some new books.
Any specific exercizes/webpages or general help is GREATLY appreciated....
And really *thanks* for the comments/suggestions.

PS. the flash site was the easiest thing to set up, but I'll see about displaying the photos in a better manner.
