I bought some stuff today to add to my lighting equipment. While the light I bought is cheap, and I am going to need a lot of practice to get it under control, it seems like it might help.
Also I built some diffusers. Here they are first:
As you can see, I made a white one, a silver one and a gold one.
Here is my daughter with ceiling flash only:
Here she is with full front flash:
And here she is with the white diffuser:
Still they need a little more light, but these were tests. Also, yes, the wall behind her is orange. All of the above had a white balance set to flash.
Here is the flash I got. It's a 40 dollar thing that syncs up well with my Sb-800 wirelessly and is probably TOO powerful. The cycle time is about 4 seconds now, but I am sure it's not the best once the batteries get down. I only intend to use it for special effects, so I don't really care how bright it is.
And here it is in action, behind my daughter to add some seperation:
Similar but too powerful:
Anyway I am just learning all this stuff... so It might take me a while to get used to it!
