I tried the following setup:
- person - wall distance = about 1m
- flash (SB-600) on tripod, triggered wireless by my D70s, distance to person is about 2m, 45° angle direct/ceiling, selfmade white diffuser + built-in diffuser/widener glas (for 14mm focal lengths forseen)
- camera D70s, 18-70 lens at c.a. 70 mm, distance to person about 3m, shutter at 1/30 (F4.5), about 90° between camera-person and flash-person triangle
...and unfortunatly the shadow is stil there. The light ist nice soft, no harsh shadows in faces, would say that everything is perfect, but the damn shadow on the wall behind is always there. The less the background light (200W lamp on ceiling in the middle of the room) the more noticable is the shadow.
Any ideas? What could I try to avoid that shadow. It's really disturbing, it kills my photo (maternity photo with my wife). What am I doing wrong.
The only way, I was able to remove the flash (from the photo) is to move the camera to left (so the 90° camera-flash angle increased), so the shadow is not included on photo...
BTW, the photos are also quite underexposed. Not sure if I can set the BL / non-BL option for the wireless setups, too. The flash is recycled enough, the red led lamp is on...
Thanks,
