Thanks, Jeff. I would, but I'm not comfortable putting her baby's pics up in the forum. I know she wouldn't care about the dog.

Have camera, will travel to DC. We go into town pretty regularly for maternity and newborn stuff these days.

^Gorgeous photo, is300! Very nice pp.

First trials of using off-camera flash. Comment?

srika

^ looks a little harsh. try a softener/ diffuser of some kind? (unless you want it to look that way)

Could just turn down the output

mdkxtreme

I think turning down output wouldn't solve it. You'll still have harsh shadows.

Yea i was using a shoot through umbrella at 1/8 power. which i agree its a little harsh than i would like. Im just going to bite the bullet and get a 28" softbox.

Mizouse

Did you adjust the zoom head? Set it to a more wider angle. And also don't put it too close to the subject.

asianspec

iTrader: (1)

Was using the 50mm. 1.4. Next time I'll use the 24-105 for it.

srika

good advice, you can always try moving the light farther away and adjust as needed.

also, what was your EXIF for that shot?

asianspec

iTrader: (1)

lol. funny when i was looking at it on LR. i realized i was ISO100 1/250 @f/2.2 i should've stopped it down to f/4.5

Mizouse

Not talking about the lens, the zoom head of the flash.

If its more zoomed in, it will become more like a snoot with a more focused beam of light.

As far as my understanding

Just got a new toy
Quick pic I took of it

I think Jonathan was using the Cowboy Studio monolight.

This is MY guess... He was shooting with the aperture too wide, thus allowing too much light. But perhaps he wanted the Bokeh/DoF... in which case he should use some kind of ND filter... perhaps a 3 stop ND filter... and also as mentioned already... pulling the stand/monolight further away and/or lowering the power, and/or using something to defuse the light (all of the above) would also help

actually i was using a Yongnuo YN 560. It was the first time using it. i figured how to control the power on it but never really played around with it. I actually wasn't going for bokeh in that photo. But rewatching Zack Arias's One light video again. What i shouldve done was probably use my 430ex with the sto-fen diffuser on the shoot thru. then probably used 1/8 to 1/16 power.Shoot at F/8 to F/11 then if i want a better DOF then bump up the ISO to 400 or so. . But yea ken, i probably should get some ND filters. The softbox we talked about is on my primary things to buy.

is300eater

what was the aperture in this pic? I can't see the exif info

Mizouse

He said f/2.2

Mizouse

I don't think it's necessary to get a softbox yet, depending on the style of lighting you want you can use a shoot thru umbrella.

Also you said the legs were flimsy, probably won't hold the weight of a softbox.

Don't give up yet, takes a lot if trial and error to master lighting.

asianspec

It will hold it. I wouldn't use it outdoors though.
