Strobist: Dropped the ambient down a number of drop in order to just provide a tip of context and background. Key light was an SB-28 through a STU, cam right and high. Using the STU gave me excellent falloff on that light, and I used a 1/8 CTO on the strobe to warm it up a bit. Dropped that direct exposure a bit (half a stop?), and used a snooted SB-800, webcam left and high (although it moved some), gelled with a 1/2 CTO, as a highlight strobe. Minimal post in Lightroom.

Tech specifications here:
SB-28 as essential, cam R and high, 1/8 power through a shoot-through umbrella, with 1/8 CTO. Fired via PocketWizard Plus II.
SB-800 as accent light, webcam L, 1/64– 1/128 power through snoot, with 1/2 CTO. Set off by internal servant.
Camera: Nikon D200, 30th at f/5.0, ISO 200. Lens: Nikkor 18-135mm, f/3.5 -5.6. White balance on “Flash” to warm the lights.
