First shots with my new Bees!

[Mitchell]

Finally broke down and bought two Alien Bees. My family is all out of town so I had nobody to play with!:frown:

First shot right out of the box.:biggrin:

Then tried a more traditional headshot using one umbrella and the fill just with the AB reflector. No need for a hair light.

Hello Mitch, I was wondering which Bee's you decided to go with?

These are AB800 in mellow yellow. I bought them from Blake here on the Cafe.

#1 would be really cool if you cropped out the box.

Then you would lose the "out of the box" reference.

No chance of that, Gretchen. The garage is the closest thing I have to my own "style".

Oh phew!!! :biggrin: I do love those shots. And even now with our new over-sized garage bays, I still don't think I could ever shoot those (too much background :redface. Your kids' kids will really treasure your garage shots one day!!
