Chuck, do you almost always use your Sekonic flash meter? Roughly how
long does it take you to adjust your strobes' output? Do you use it as
an incident meter, firing the strobes remotely or do you use it as a
spot meter? I would think measuring the light in multiple places with
a meter could be fairly time consuming. (TIA)

Althought the second picture has noticeble directionality to the
lighting, I like it that way. I don't notice any problem shadows nor
anything with shadows going two different directions. I think that is
quite succesful lighting.

I guess since you are taking pictures of people, you try to get even
lighting almost all of the time. With ambient light being 2 stops down
from the strobes, probably mixed color temperatures aren't a problem
for you.
