Hi Bert,
No problem. When Suzy asked me if I know any photographers, you were the first to jump in my head

I’m a constant follower of your blog.

Mohamed.

@chad: You are right about lightroom 2.0
The thing is that I exported the pictures (with sharpening) to 1500 pixels and uploaded those to Flickr. Flickr’s 500 pix version (which you see on the blog) looks oversharpened. Next time I’ll leave the sharpening off. Thanks for noticing, I wrote the post half asleep, so I didn’t notice it yet.

@Alim: thanks, I think the main light was at 1/4 and the hairlight was at 1/16 but I may be a stop off.

Bert, stunning photos!!! If I may ask, do you remember your flash settings for the shot with the grid spot?

Thanks for the inspiration!

Cheers,
Alim

Great images… looks like a fun shoot. Am I right in thinking this is the first post that you have used LR2s output sharpening on the images? I was trying to put my finger on what looked different, then I noticed the mention of LR2 and it all clicked. I love your work, but I do think LR2 is oversharpening everything right now (maybe it will be fixed). To me your images always have a soft look to them, not un-sharp, but soft in the tonality. I think the sharpening is a bit of a contrast to that look and I am not sure that it is supporting your images.

Or perhaps I am totally off base here? If so, sorry for the tirade.
