    I've only been toying with strobism for about 48 hours so I've got much to learn. I've always enjoyed high key images so I thought I'd have a go myself.

    Interesting photo Ben, don't see a lot of those around here.


    I like it, although the model could be a little more exited [:P]

    Hahah thanks. Yep the model was my girlfriend and I don't think she was expecting to be my proverbial experimental guinea pig. I'll let her know she needs to fire things up a bit [:P]

    Another shot of the fired up experimental guinea pig and my other best mate, Jack the Border Collie (the other collie wouldn't sit still long enough for a shot)


    40D, 70-200mm f/4L IS @ 100mm and f/6.3, 1/250 sec, ISO 100


    420ex behind with full CTO gel fired toward me


    580 exII camera left @ 1/2 power through softbox.


    Both triggered using Yonguo RF602 radio triggers.

    Nice shot Ben, I'm just getting into the strobism off camera thing myself lately. I do believe we're the only two Ozzie's here though and Queenslanders at that. Love your BC mate, smartest dogs around, do you still have your choclate BC. One more thing, where in the Isa is it that green [:P]
