Hey all,


Here is one of me (I know I know- it's a silly pose, but given that I was freezing my *koff* off, it's not too bad)...

I had intended to carry my umbrellas to do some cool stuff, but I left them behind in the car and did not feel like fetching them. Hence I used only one flash and the light is harsh...

Next time will go prepared... :D


I am just happy that the exposure and my idea was sort of realized. Now I can conjure up some interesting stuff to do off camera flash photography. :ivar :ivar :ivar

Hi Shniks, If that's what you do when you are unprepared, never, ever go prepared.<img> Excellent pic.

The part I like best is you tried something different. Good work! I like it.

The only criticism I have is the two red dots on the flash need to go.

Hey Geoff- yeah those lights are from the flash's infrared sensor. I had planned on using an umbrella to hide the flash from view of the camera- which did not happen as I stupidly forgot to take my umbrellas from my car. I def will not let that happen again though. :D


Thanks for your feedback.

Very creative and well done! That falls into the "why didn't I think of that" category!

Thanks Matt- it definitely opens new possibilities. A couple of strobes in their wireless mode and one can do wonders. :D
