Multiple Flash

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I'm experimenting with multiple flash at the moment, would love some feedback on the following:

Excellent work! I love the backlight and how it shines through their hair. Nicely composed, well timed and looks very natural. B&W works very well here also.

Love the experiment with backlighting however watch out for your backgrounds :) The faint light caught by the wardrobe in the room behind the boys is a bit of a downer in an otherwise top pic.

I'd turn the back light down a smidge and move the front a foot to the left (or right!).

Other than that, you've captured a fantastic moment and created a beautiful image!

I have to say that I really like this image. While it is set up the actual captured moment is very spontaneous. I like that! The lighting is also very good and aside from taking about half a stop of power out of the back light I would be reluctant to touch the setup. It reminds me of some of the classic lit images of the 1950's. Well done that person!

Thanks for the comments. The background is actually a doorway into the kitchen, the reflection is of a bar-stool. When I had the door closed I was getting hot spots from it.
