I really like this shot. One of those moments that I didn't intend to capture but it just happened. The boys are up on top of my truck. The sun is setting and I am trying to see what I can get in such low light. The minute I took it, I knew it was a good one. At least to me that is.
I worked on it a little in LR2. Brought up the blacks a little added the gradients from 3 sides.
Be blessed.

Wow. I was surprised that this got such a positive reaction on flickr. I have done this type of thing with my son before. Makes a cool portrait.
It really couldn't be easier to do. One light with a foam snoot. I set it on 1/4 power. I set the camera to max. sync. For me that is 1/250s. Apeture set to f5.6. That is always my starting point. I adjust from there.
This is taken in a lit room. But the room is f4 @ 1/25s or so. So I am way above ambient.
So the snooted 285HV is behind the subject slightly side-lit. Then you just turn the subject or move the light until you get the effect you are looking for.
Be blessed.
