Nobody wanted to pose for me ... so, guess who got the call??
I hardly ever shoot on aperture priority (always full manual) - but this effect I learned today expose for the background 1/2 second and flash at -1 - illuminates the subject crisply but background is lit by ambient - rotating camera at the same time :)
Thanks for looking

Actually I found it on Craiglist for a mere $60 (brand spanking) - a soft box of this dimension is normally in the $150 upwards price range ... it measures 40" on the long side and 30" on the shorter side.

Cam1017 - I think you might be thinking of a light tent (or a light box) - it is used for correctly lighting objects (not people) ... a soft box (on the other hand) is a variable sized box on a light stand - normally used at 45 deg or straight on to create light on a model - (soft light that is) - to shape the face and give the skin texture (well, that's my goal) - I have also used my soft box to provide a hair light when I use a beauty dish as a main light source ... hope this helps - thanks Phil

Thank you everyone for your responses - however - I have to make a confession - these shots were not with a soft box - they are natural window light - and i had actually posted them up before - but (dufus that I am) I selected the wrong pics when I hit the upload button ...
these are the shots I meant to upload ... :
they were - same model - but with soft box and continuous light as described above ...

Used continuous light in my 40 x 30 softbox - for cross-lighting (in some) and 45 deg high for others ... adjust WB only - and sharpen.
Thanks for looking

I agree with others, #3 is my favorite, #1 is great too. #2 looks slightly over-exposed, but a good shot anyway. Nice job! BTW, pretty model too.
Thanks Phil

Thank you all for your comments - window light is a new project of mine - and a willing model is just what the doctor ordered :) Phil

Michelle with window light and reflector to right for fill
use grey card for exposure setting - 1/15 ISO400 f5.6 with 24-70 f2.8L and 5Dmk2
Minimal pp - just some blemishes removed and levels.
c&c appreciated - thanks for looking phil

Thanks for all the comments everyone.
Most of these shots were with my 70-200 ... BUT zoomed all the way back to 70 ... because I was right next to them :) ... one of them geeses wanted to bite me cause I was to close ... so - the 'challenge' was indeed there :)
Thanks hey

The Goose shot is very clear and beautiful. I feel like one could almost touch the feathers. Like the second because of the symmetry of the wood in the dock and its line directing the eye to the center creating dimension. The third one made me smile. It's adorable.
Thank you Joanna for your wonderful comments - the mama wanted to attack me when I got to close to the babies :)

Took some long exposure shots and a few of the 'wildlife' today ... comments welcome ... thx for looking Phil

No 2 by far is the most striking - shoot this one again - but use some fill flash to get rid of the shadows ... angle is great ... #1 is too much teeth, #3 is to much forehead ... this is only my opinion - take it for what its worth ... :) ... ah ya also check your white balance - skin seems to be a bit off.

I will always shoot the moon in manual - use spot metering and slightly under expose to get good detail - minimum f16 - whatever speed that gives you for slightly under-exposed is good - the pic that I took here was f16 at 1/15 ISO100 - so (of course) you need a tripod. Live-view - mirror up - manual focus.
I like to include some foreground with a moon shot - it adds perspective (I think)
I missed the supermoon shot - this one was taken a few days later at 4:30 am - ...
hope this helps
