my umbrella flashes came in yesterday and i'm just blown away by how good they are. they weren't that much ($100) compared to all the other ones that start well into the $300s for a name brand set, but these ones are just great. i'm still working out the kinks in figuring out the right flash settings (i havn't used studio flashes since highschool and i don't have a light meter so i'm soley relying on my cameras light metering system) but i've got it to down to where i can kinda control how the final shots end up looking. so a few more tests today and tonight to prepare for tomorrow and i should be all set. its so crazy what a huge impact of using these kind of flashes compared to the flash i was using makes on the final photograph. heres one of the test shots i did last night.

i don't know how closely everyone who comes to this site looks at my photographs but you can tell the difference from this one to all the others, it just has that look of professionalism (or is that just me) to it. it's the even lighting and the glint in his eyes that does it for me. i'm still a little nervous about tomorrow but i'm sure i'll be fine.
