Tried this again, this time with the sb800 on camera for fill, and the sb600 inside the softbox.
Much much happier with the result. Never mind the sack in teh photo, hes just cheap labour


Comments and criticisms are appreciated.

very nice to see soft and harsh light, mixed well.

I'm particularly interested in how you drove this. Did you use the SB800 as master, and use CLS, or manual?
Catchlights and lighting looks very nice!

sorry i should have said the sb800 was bounced off the roof.

It was just on creative lighting but i did use flash and exposure compensation to get the right histogram and lighting.

I can see the light shapes in the sunglasses (they always tell lots about a set up).

Thanks OZ!

Here I was squinting looking for the catchlight in matt's eyes Never even noticed it in the sunnies


Matt, lighting looks nice and even, i'd say a job well done

It's been interesting watching your skill evolve with this experiment of yours and the lighting here is decidedly better. I also think you have a more interesting pose in this image. As with all of the shots so far I think the colour works better than the black and white. BTW as models go I've seen far worse (myself for example )

thanks for hte comments everyone.

I am slowly learning all that is needed to pull off well exposed shots.

The last step i think i'll need to master is instead of using wireless ttl, i want to go into manual mode, so everything can be the same each shot.

however, apart from a lot of trial and error, i really don't know how i would go about setting something like that up.

I will also try next time to have a proper model so ur not stuck lookin at me.
