The Christening of the Alien Bee!
My light came today!!! Along with the softbox, reflector, and back drops! It was Christmas at my house!!!!!!
I wanted to share these here as they aren't crique worthy... since they are all test shots that I just snapped while getting things set up. But I wanted to share the Alien's Christening!!

Who are you trying to fool??? :)
CC,
Drop the modesty act. These shots are quite wonderful results for a first time monolight user. You have a beautiful soft but directional light which IMO is perfect for this kind of work.
Do you have any idea how many shooters have worked with these lights for years and have not been able to produce the results you got the first time? You have an affinity or a feel for lighting, that's for sure.
BTW, I'm not quite sure what you meant with your comment about them not being "Critique worthy". Others may disagree with me, but I've aways felt Critique is where you post until you get good enough to post in Viewfinder... ;)
