Ahhh - I thought my eyes were going strange this morning, could have sworn this was darker last time I looked!

Much better now, Pa - the original was a tad dark. Cool image, am sure I know this guy

Looks like the tissue paper has done the trick, lovely soft light! Just watch you don't overheat the flash and start a fire with that tissue :shock:

Nice to see you experimenting - you're getting right into this aren't you!

Great result Pa, the tissue paper diffused the flash nicely. Kookas are excellent subjects too, full of character.......top shot imo.

Cheers,
Rob.
