O.k., I posted this (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=58633) in the people forum and got some good feedback. Owen and Lynne mentioned that the lighting was flat.
Camera set in AV @ ISO200 for 1/250sec. The lighting was with diffused light through the shades, a 300W halogen in the corner, and my 580EX (high-speed synced, ETTL, 0EV) bounced off the walls behind me.
I know the background is very distracting, but I am more concerned with how to better the lighting for an impromptu setting. I had no time to make the room ideal for this. Plus, I actually do not own any reflectors, umbrellas, etc. to use for controlling the light.
Any ideas what I should do with the camera, flash to better the lighting on shots like this?
