Well done Marc. Glad to hear the S2 is doing the job…but I think you deserve the lions share of credit. Always enjoy reading about your lighting solutions…
Marc,
I really like the Calder shot.
That shot would definitly look great in 30″.
I have learned that one should always keep shooting in the dark, and that shot proves it.
Of course you brought your own sun, but your balance of light was so good, I would not have imagined the conditions if you had not told us.JackThanks guys,
David, yes it is always what’s behind the camera no matter who …. however, when a camera does what it is supposed to do, when it is supposed to do it, and the files have such a nice look and feel, it’s a real help.
Frankly, I have not seen files from any other camera provide the look and feel that the S2 provides. There is a sort of gentleness to tonal roll-off and a way of rendering light that looks better to my eye than any 35mm DSLR of any meg count, or even the range of MFD cameras I have had the good fortune to own and use. Not everyone can see that or will agree, but I see it … and I am the one that counts … LOL!
Jack, I’m a real avocate of having lighting available, and using it when called for with the S2, or any other camera pressed into service for assignment work … be it weddings, portraits, advertising, etc. In these cases, I don’t have the luxury of not taking the shot because the light isn’t right like we do when shooting for ourselves.
This is not to say that I don’t use the S2 in available light when it is right and true … it is just nice to have more light available : -)

Very impressive use of artificial light. I say that because you can’t tell artificial light was used. Well done.
