[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 302717, member: 12257"] Day 125 - Toyin' around with the new toy. So... it's time to play and learn with a bit more, and tonight I picked: Off-camera flash with the new PRIMAL BEAST in commander mode, with my SB700 on it's stand. 1st, the before test shot, a little desk top knick-knack shot with just the SB700 on-camera. Then, a second with the built in flash + the off-camera SB700 firing on the wall behind. Then an odd angle without the built-in firing at all, just to mess around. LOTS o' learning tonight! SB700 on camera. Not so bad, but definitely not so great... [ATTACH type="full"]87481._xfImport[/ATTACH] Built-in flash with SB700 off-camera and firing at the wall behind. Much better! (at least, in my opinion it is) [ATTACH type="full"]87480._xfImport[/ATTACH] Random placement to get an interesting shadow. Kind of fun! [ATTACH type="full"]87479._xfImport[/ATTACH] Just me messing around and showing off the set-up a bit, LOL [ATTACH type="full"]87478._xfImport[/ATTACH] THEN, as a BONUS, I walked out onto the back porch to let the pups out and saw the moon shining through the tree. Pretty steep angle, but worth a shot. I went into 1.3x crop mode, dialed in a couple of settings in manual mode, and fired away. With that larger pentaprism viewfinder, the 1.3x crop and pure adrenaline pumping from the joy of the evening, I nailed the focus with this handheld shot! My best focus on the moon yet!! (again, in my opinion) [ATTACH type="full"]87482._xfImport[/ATTACH] My cheeks hurt from smiling so much! :D :D :D [/QUOTE]
