My photo equipment update IV

Last chance for an updated equipment list for 2008.
So here we go again! A few new additions has made it to the list since the last update in october.
Studiolight, Ringflash, Canon infered flash trigger and a single Lens. The lens is of my old wishlist, a Canon 15mm Fisheye - Great fun! I have used it for a few portrays but it fittes landscape and group photos better. I managed to use it for a few "frost-shots" - view older posts to see the photos. The new studiolighting has been used several times as you may have notised;)
I'm looking forward to play more with my new backdrop (a christmas prestent) in the new year:).

Thanks for looking:)

Studio lighting with a retouch

Inspired by the style of Dave Hill (http://www.davehillphoto.com/) and with the help of Lucis Art ED3 plug-in for Photoshop I have created these photos. The key to great highly retouched photos are light and on that subject I can tell that I now have a set of Walimex studiolight. The setup has been used for the following photos. We had great fun shooting these and the post-production should reflect this:)
