Thank you to those few folks that took a look and commented on or off list.
We had a lot of fun with this concept, the model is both pretty and a
lovely person to work with and our HMUA and Henna artist is wonderful. The
portraits are primarily for her portfolio in fact.

This is the main gallery from our shoot here. We came up with some fun
costumes for our boho/bellydancer theme.

The 2.5 120 lens is fabulous for portraits of course. I didn't get the CS
version in order to save some money. I do use that function a lot with the
standard 70 lens though.
For outside location shoots, I have discovered the high speed sync
functions available with the dedicated flash gun. So that will be fun to
experiment with TTL and controlled fill there.

Almost everything I'm shooting now is with this system and it is actually a
little strange to use the M stuff now when I do!  Getting close to 10,000
frames with the S2 now. Lots of work with it in my galleries, anyway.



Cheers
Geoff
