Peter and Mark, terrific.

Frank, how much for the Flourderagon! I can't believe Frank has a Flourderagon brass lens and I don't!

Dang now it's out on the internet, I'll have Eddie coming from the East and Galli from the West for it... if you don't hear from me again, go to the FBI and tell them it was one of those two that did me in for my precious Flourderagon!

Alex, I find this particular work stunning. I know it may be a personal secret, but can you dissect the lighting for me. I can normally see this lighting in a shot easily, but here the catchlights in the eyes don't seem to agree with the shadow placement.

It *seems* to me that your key is low and camera left of the subject, possibly a second light behind projecting the spot onto the background.

Justin , regarding photography i don't have secrets.
For my collodion photography i use 2 falconeyes daylight sets.
They both have 9 x 28 watt bulbs.
One at the right with aprox 5 bulbs on, one at the left with 2 bulbs on and a strong light just behind his head.
