Stradawhovious, would you mind sharing the link to your flickr? It isn't in your signature. I would love to see some of your awesome flash work (on people). Since charlie has already submitted his best work
That is not my best work.. those are merely a few of the very few people shots I have. I don't shoot people for the same reason I don't shoot newborns.. I have no interest in them!
I don't see any awesome work from you in my chosen area of photography.. correct? Or do you even shoot macro?
It sounds like you are being a bit catty and superior... so I will say that I would be amazed if you can post anything that is even equal to the shots I did post.. and they are basically my version of snapshots, as they are candids.
I'm not talking crap about your work. You do awesome work and I have commented on how much I like your work. But seriously, why did you use flash in that first image taken in full sun. You didn't need to. You had a crap ton of light (you said yourself). You could have positioned yourself or your subject differently so flash was not needed. Plus the portraits you posted seem rather flat (from the flash). That is all I am saying. Maybe I should just quote myself so people get the point. Not sure if the man vibes are getting in the way of your ability to read. If you don't need it, don't use it.
I have had my camera 9 months. I am no professional. Though I study and read a lot and I know a pretty decent amount I still consider myself a novice. I practice almost every single day. I am not trying to appear superior. But the op wants lighting to shoot his child. Since you don't shoot children or even people perhaps you aren't the best one to take advice from.
