Anyone familiar with green screen? Here are samples of before and after. I have also discovered that you don't necessarily need a green screen to accomplish the final results as shown in the last photo.

Yes, I will post others. Thanks !!!
Thanks !!!! They were a bit dark on my monitor as well. I have not printed any of these but have trouble getting the correct exposure between monitor and printer. I haven't figured out how to calibrate the two.
Your welcome. I am assuming that you are shooting this at night.
I would start by mounting your camera to a tripod. Put your camera in the manual mode. Set your you shutter speed to about 30th of a second. Note as you go you may want to experiment with the shutter speed. Set your aperture between f8 and f5.6. Again you may want to experiment with those settings. ISO @ 200 or 400. No flash. And go for it. Just experiment with your camera settings until you get what you really like. Have fun !!!

Great shots !!! My favorites are from top to bottom is #1 #5 and #6.
I have a Nikon 80-200 f2.8 and a 1.4 converter. I also have a 2x converter. I have used both and find myself using the 2x more than the 1.4. I am quite satisfied with the results from both. I shoot a lot of sports action and wanting to get close to my subject the 2x works the best. By using the 2x you will lose 2 stops. Meaning on a f2.8 lens it will make it a 5.6 by adding the converter. Hope this helps in your quest.
