Steve,
Great lighting discussions today as anticipated. Attached are some of my favorite images.  The lighting was so nice that all I did was a few things to each image in Lightroom and then posted them!

Thanks very much for the class!  It was extremely helpful in not just helping me remember the mathematical equation for distance to target, foreground/background, and flash setup for apertures but I also had another help.  I have decided that I do really like this kind of photography and wish to actively pursue it more often. I sent Rayna a facebook message thanking her to allowing us to photo shoot her, what a sweet heart.  I would definitely do your class a second time and you were a great and patient teacher.  Thank you!

Steve,
The lighting class was excellent! Great combination of an academic discussion regarding the qualities of light combined with several practical applications in the studio with a light meter and a model.  Granted, I think it will be a while before my head stops hurting from the “F-stop math” involved in combining multiple light sources but you made it as painless, and as clear, as possible.  All in all, great class, great atmosphere, and am looking forward to the next class!
Thanks,
Tony
