[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 333822, member: 16844"] [U][B]July 20th[/B][/U] Another earlyish post from me. This time inspired by a Youtube video (referred by someone here on one of the posts) I made a note of where the pro held his light for portrait shots using a crappy camera (pro camera test) to get the best shot. Okay so I don't have anyone to test this on except this strange looking Chinese mask on the wall. It has a really long nose and is supposed to be the "god of happiness" or something but I suspect in western culture he would be the "god of fibs". Even Pinnochio's nose is put to shame by this fellow. So some 20 or so photos later - most of which produced really horrible shadows - I present my best of the bunch. [ATTACH=CONFIG]101813._xfImport[/ATTACH] Oh and it was fun as there was only really one place to hang him with no background or side distractions. This meant setting my tripod up on the kitchen counter and using a stepladder to focus. Included in the process was the use of my remote shutter release (highly recommend everyone gets one of these) and my old Sunpak flash. And I think I will now go out and try and capture a bird or something else exciting. [/QUOTE]
