Got a new toy today.

I love these shots, Ron!

Thanks Jamie.

...I was at 100mm at f/7.1 at 1/125 at ISO 500.

Hmmm... any chance that's ambient then? Room lights perhaps?

There is always a chance, I had the ceiling fan and lights on but it's a 13 foot ceiling and 60w light bulbs, not very bright.

No, not likely.

John, I get hot spots on my forehead like that with the umbrella's too. It's something that I'll keep playing with and try to learn about.

One of my thoughts last night was to leave the flash at 1/16 and change the shutterspeed to 1/100 or lower. This was after I had already bumped up the ISO from 400 to 500. (I like having a 7D that has more options for ISO.)

I think those turned out quite nice, I like the second one.

They appear to have a blue tint to them from what I can see. if your walls are blue maybe that is why but to me, the white balance looks a little off, the skin tones don't quite right.

Cute boy. Looks like a happy kid.

I prop my reflector up on a chair when in a pinch. it works pretty well!
