[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 678059, member: 43545"] I have not been posting much lately, busy tourist season in my incoming tour company[s] but went for a walk in a park with my friend while we were waiting for her young friend to join us I took a few photos of her and then of her friend. Both are actors on stage and movies here. The younger girl(19 yo) wanted a headshot for a casting director, just a snapshot to attach to her datasheet. I never met Polina before so was not sure what image she wanted to express or what part she was trying for. So this was just a 1 flash headshot with the bright sun at the evening horizon. The background was very bright so with her in shadows, just pointed the shoe-mounted flash directly at her. She was dressed conservatively so I assumed she wanted to look older more adult so just an office style headshot [ATTACH=CONFIG]294935._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then I took a few of my friend who is almost twice Polina's age: This one was just before entering a restaurant in the park with wide open aperture to get rid of the distracting background. The new 56mm flange Z mount is going to allow taking subject isolation images in any environments, can't wait to try the 58 f/0.95 Since the light colored granite wall behind her was so bright I put her in the shadow and had Polina hold the flash 4 feet to my left set for iTTL-0.7 and it balanced the bright background pretty well.
