[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 469708, member: 16844"] Hey George let me explain as best I can in a long winded way! This is my daughter's cat. I stopped my camera down to make the ambient light non-existent with a high f stop and the faster shutter speed for my flash and slow ISO. So a normal photo would have produced just a black frame. We then got some cat food and placed that on the table next to the flash before placing Mowgli up there with it. To get him to raise his head from the food we simply took it away - cruel I know but he had already been fed so this was all a treat for him! :) I took about 50 odd photos and there must be at least 20 keepers. It was my second attempt at off camera flash, the first was with a human who required no feeding and was happy to take instructions. As a matter of interest I suspect very strongly that my daughter was simply humouring me as she has never thought my photos are that good - what with me always carrying the camera around and generally making a nuisance of myself. She has definitely changed her mind since seeing these. :) [/QUOTE]
