@Mal1905: Thank you. I'm thinking of getting the book Light: Science and Magic ... to learn more about 'studio lighting.' I know that book recommends using flash units or strobes but I think I can simulate them using desk lamps.
I misfocused on the 4th one. I got er, distracted by something else.

Check out the articles on lighting at Dave Montizambert's site - I had the opportunity to work with him two years ago when he visited Dublin, and his one-light setups are really great.
Even though he had all the necessary equipment (diffusers, backdrops, reflectors, etc) on-site, he instead used everyday household items (bed-sheet, shower curtain, kitchen foil, etc) to create his lighting

@Mal1905: I really appreciate the link. It's great when people share their know-how. While I still prefer available light, there are just times that I want to be able to have full control over it but I don't want to spend on expensive gear yet until I got CLEF right (Composition, Lighting, Exposure, Focal Point).

Strange but cool series. I like the the 2nd shot. The shadows near the eyes are very present, and still an important part of this picture. In combination with the eyes itself, it's a real "eye-catcher". Just one think, from my point of view there is too much "bottom" in this picture.

@Kabraxis: Thank you. I understand what you mean. That's the closest I could get with the +1 close up filter mounted on the 28mm. I didn't want to crop the photo in Photoshop. I may look for a manual focus only macro lens in the future. I will research which one is good.
@Excalibur, poilu: (off topic) If you want to buy figures like this at cheap prices, try visiting Play-Asia.com or HLJ.com.
