This image is similar to the before and after image of Shelley. Again, only one light has been used. I had a strobe shooting through an umbrella high camera right. The strobe is doing two things. FIRSTLY it's lighting the subject and SECONDLY it's creating a specular reflection off the background which also drowns out any background shadow. (Like playing billards with light) If you look at the face of the subject you will see a soft diffused to shadow transfer zone which has been created by the large light source.
I'm presently shooting IR only as I blew up my D200. Had something to do with my camera touching one of the umbrella spokes while taking a shot. Somehow the camera shorted in the process. I'm sure Canon users will have something to say about this!
This image was sharpened in Lightroom using the four new sliders in the Details Panel.

A Canon would have made patterns out of the umbrella spokes - keep up the interesting articles - I check on you and your site every day.
lol :), nice one Margaret. Two big tips coming over the next three days. Bad news for me. My D200 is in pieces on a workbench with the tech guy scratching his head. None of the Nikon team have seen this happen to a D200 before. I'm without my baby for 3 weeks while a part comes in from Japan. The camera is being completely rebuilt as they have no idea why this thing isn't working. Maybe it's time to make the switch to Canon! Hush your mouth Lucas!
