Playing with my Speedlight....C&C sorta.

[MrsLittle]

I have been reading "The Hot Shoe Diaries"...I was getting ideas on trying to be more create with my speedlight. I wanted to try a taking a photo with the light firing through the window. I don't have any triggers so I was using the commander on my D7000- which only fired from a close distance.

This shot was taken with the light 3 feet from the window and gelled. I am definitely investing in some hot shoe triggers, since I want to get that bad boy a little further. I know it's not the best shot but I was bored and had a spark of inspiration. I am going for Alien encounter or something like that.

I like it. Maybe a reflector or a white board camera right to bring some detail in the boys hair and ear.


Great reflection!

I see what you mean. It really dark on the side of his face and makes it look like there's a dirt spot on his neck.
