These were shot with the halides on. Ah, the fun things you can do with exposure in camera RAW! Enjoy!

Now after the lights went out:

Umm, how did you get the coloration with the MH on?

Thanks, y'all!

Murf--These photos were shot in RAW format. When you open a RAW file in Photoshop, you have a chance to set the exposure to whatever you want it to be. I just play with the exposure slider until I exclude the ambient light--very cool! It makes focusing pretty darn simple. I have to say, my shots with the halides on were much better than the shots without.
