what do you use to edit your pictures ?
jajajaja!!!

Is it possible to have 2 continuous lights behind and one strobe in front or is 3 strobes needed?
Lol "let's add some clarity…" CRANKS IT TO 70
Interesting and informative! The photo was disappointing, though. During the video the subject looked really good. Seemed promising.
lol at this
no sense, face and ball (the two most important things!) are too dark!
