I love how you fade out the background. Put this on the list of things I want you to show me when I come visit.(I do better being shown as aposed to told how to do something)

The figurine has great detale and the portrait of it shows it vary well. great pic!!

I can see why you are so happy to get the new lighting system it is great.

Narrow depth of field isn't hard; I'll show you on your camera when you come to visit!

And I actually didn't use my new lighting rig for this one - I just bounced the flash off of the ceiling! I did have the flash attached to the side of the camera instead of the top, though, with a bracket that screws into the tripod mount.
