More Flash Photography

While I could have taken yet more tennis ball photos today, I wanted to try out my short light stand; it extends to about 18" and I got it in an attempt to get light lower to the ground when shooting the girls.  One of the nice things about having a small soft box is that even on this very short light stand, I can use the soft box to diffuse the flash.  Now that I have the tools, I just have to work on training the girls to pose on command!

I have to work on adjusting the power levels on the flashes, but I like having a 'regular' height flash and a short one.

Now I just have to work on synchronized 'looks'.

Fi, taking a moment to be serious.

Abby, taking no time to be serious.  Ever.



This weekend I'm going to spend a little time playing with continuous lighting.  I have been using off-camera flashes to light the photos so far, and while it does provide an interesting effect, I'm curious to see if I can get something more 'natural' with the continuous lighting.  We shall see!
