Equipment used: Canon EOS20D digital camera in RAW mode using a Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8L USM or a Canon EF 70-200mm F4.0L USM. Flash photographs use a Canon Speedlite 580EX, Really Right Stuff B870B Flash Bracket, and Canon Compact Battery Pack CP-E3. I use Really Right Stuff QR clamps and plates and protect my lenses with B+W Multi-Resistant Coating UV filters. Software used: RAW image conversion, white balance correction, exposure correction, highlight recovery, noise removal, and correction of lens distortion and lateral chromatic aberration through DxO Optics Pro 5.0; adjustments to color, tone, and sharpness through Adobe Photoshop CS2. I use a 16-bit digital workflow modeled after that of Bettina and Uwe Steinmueller.
