Thanks tilde!
Never used a soft box or a electronic flash off camera.
This was my attempt at what I thought was correct settings for my living room ambient light.
I got my daughter to finally sit still for a few minutes for this portrait shot.
Taken with Canon 5D Mk II with Lumapro 160 flash in a soft box. Flash was triggered off camera with wireless.
(Hence the square reflection in her eyes.) I did remove a couple small blemishes with PS CS5 otherwise it's as it came out. I thought the warmth was just about right.
Any opinions?
I haven't done any photography in quite a few years. Finally updated my camera from a digital rebel.
Shot taken with a 70-200mm F2.8 L ISM II
Warm Reception
My favorite is number 2. Tells a short story. Nice
I've just resurrected my past picture taking interest. I like to do so many different things it can be a curse at times. I usually try to do things first class and not worry about the money to much --otherwise I'd probably be rich by now. I may be broke as far as cash but I'm having fun!
A couple of different pictures.
One of my daughter who it looks like is going to MED school in two years. Picture taken with a 5D mark II with a EF 70-200 F2.8 IS II lens. Off camera flash with a Lumapro 160 in a 24 by 30 softbox. Only slight touchup was done in Photoshop CS5 to remove two blemishes from face. No softening of this image whatsoever.
Next two pictures were taken of a great room at a friends newly built house both with off camera flash.
Dining room had two flashes One EX580 two my right and a flash behind the furniture. If you look close you might be able to see it on the floor behind a chair.
Next great room picture was taken with just one off camera flash(lumapro 160) to right. I was experimenting with Light for casting shadows on the bar. Picture was slightly underexposed for light balance and effect.
This looks like a great community! Hope to get get some feedback and maybe make a few friends.
Enjoy
