Portra 160NC in 120 - it was overcast and the light was cool.

Beautiful and refreshing view. How are you metering these?

A Sekonic L-308s for the shots using flash and my Olympus E-500 for anything shot on 4x5 - then calculating from there. This is my "project", Sunday is macro day.

These are amazing! You should post a tutorial for macro shots

I would do so, but I have access to a lot more gear than the average guy with DSLR and all my techniques may not be suitable for all photographers (especially the lighting). I was looking for what I could do with my other domain - I think I have found out.

Less bulky than using my D200. :bangin: I'll setup my blog for doing this, behind the scenes macro setups.

That lighting method works great for other things - I'll post an image using some sea salts scrub crystals later. Thanks for the comment.

Very very cool! Thanks again! If you are so inclined, it would be great to see some creative lighting examples that can be used when taking product style shots (ie: watches) :D
