Thanks Tom. I can't imagine anything being hard for you to shoot!

Looking good Susan. Flash is a little hot in the second photo otherwise illumination looks good. I see you are using the softbox. How do you like it? Shot on the flyswatter is classic.

Thanks William. Think I had flash at 1/2 power and it was too much resulting in hot spots. Pro's and Con's to using the softbox. I like the eye reflection better than the ring light but it does get in the way sometimes, more so than the ring light did. I think I get better results with the softbox, but I haven't had the time to shoot very much lately and we've had winds, dirt, hail and rain off and on for 2 weeks. No complaints there though, we certainly need the rain. I just need to shoot a whole lot more often!
