Processing - Which is better?

A comparison:
The version to the left has just had some adjustments done in Lightroom. On the version to the right I used the Shadow / Highlight adjustment tool, and after that played a little bit with curves. Before I really liked the dark unprocessed version, but after playing Photoshop, I really think the processed, gritty version works much better.

What do you think?

Strobist info can be found here.

Clarification: It's the same photo, just processed differently.

My wussy baby camera - strobist style

It’s been raining all day, and though I might be waterproof, my 350D isn’t. So I take that as a perfectly good reason to take some gear shots – of course strobist style.

I received my third Elinchrom Skyport receiver this week, so I thought this would make a perfect opportunity for some three lights strobist practice. To make it a bit harder, I decided on shooting black on black.

Task at hand: Maky my wussy 350D look less wussy by lighting it the right way.

Strobist info:
Three speedlites were used. Two bare 430EXs were used as rim light / kickers. The two 430EXs were placed on both sides of the camera and slightly behind the model camera. A 540EZ was placed in a large soft box above camera. The soft box was aimed slightly downwards. The black side of a 5-in-1 reflector was placed behind the camera as a black background. All flashes were triggered by Elinchrom Skyports. Metering was done with a Sekonic L-358.

Another beauty shot with clamshell lighting

Another beauty shot with the same beauty lighting à la clamshell setup. I really like how this turned out, but still missing the hair light :) I'm just happy my wife put up with all the learning sessions.

Strobist information:
A 540EZ in a medium DIY soft box above camera (tilted slightly down) and a 430EX in a 110cm white shoot through umbrella below the camera. Both triggered with Elinchrom Skyports. Sekonic L-358 used for metering.

Beauty shot with clamshell lighting

Wanted to try out beauty lighting à la clamshell, and got my wife to pose for me. I quite like how this one turned out, but I think I would need a hair light. Guess I must get a third Skyport receiver to trigger that last flash.

I actually tried to hook up one Skyport to the 540EZ and the second Skyport to the ST-E2 which in turn would trigger the two 430EX, but the sync speed got quite low... about 1/80... and that was too slow for me.

Anyway, we used the black side of the 5-in-1 round reflector as a background which worked out quite nicely.
