What a lovely portrait Ranie. Great expression of openness with a bit of shyness and I love the dress (so sharp and colorful).
My only small critic is the crop. The finger that shows only partially annoys me a bit. I'd just crop it out if it was my picture.

Great work as usual Ranie.

Thanks for pointing that out Marcel
To tell you frankly, I was not aware of it
I would have done it too

I was asked to take a speedlight class and this was my final shot. Used D300 with SB910 on CLS. 1/3200th, F5.0, ISO 200. The SB910 had a 1/4 CTO and snoot on it. I didnt have access to a studio at the time so this was shot in a classroom under normal lighting.

I am now considering myself a Strobist. I am going to learn the hard way . . . all manual. I have no meter at this time.

I have three Vivitar 283's, two Vivitar 2800's and one Sunpak PZ40X which has digitally adjustable power settings. I have two light stands and umbrella brackets, two Brolly Box umbrellas and one white umbrella. I have a 5-in-One reflector set as well. I am about complete with my DIY Beauty Dish which I will post up when it is finished.

I just added a set of Yongnuo RF-603N radio poppers to the mix. I have ordered the electronics to build my own Vari Power modules for the 283's so I can adjust their power at the strobe itself.

All I need now is a portable backdrop system.

One thing I would save for is a flash/ambient meter;just remember trust the meter. We did a demonstration at our computer club. Our club has several Special Interest Group and one of them is the Digital Photography Group. We set up two flashes except I chose not use trigger but optical triggers for those that brought their cameras. We used a 24x36 soft box, a white reflector on a stand. I used an old canvas background I bought in the 70's from Denny Mfg. I had my MacPro Tower tethered to a D7K and lightroom so our members could see instantaneously; which was pretty cool. Our Digital Photography SIG is like a Photography Club but with out the CLUB if you get my drift!!
