I was having a practice with my SB800 Speedlight this afternoon and Hamish is a willing subject. He was up on his high sleeper bed and I was bouncing the flash off the ceiling.
I was going to swap computers in Hamish's room today, which would involve running Ethernet cable from one side of the room to the other. Hamish was having fun with the cable, so I grabbed a shot.
I've been working my way through Zack Arias's Onelight 2.0 workshop and ordered a lightstand and 150cm umbrella on the strength of it. They arrived today and I did some practice shots of Freya this evening. This is with the SB800 shooting through the umbrella. I have a lot to learn and I expect the curve to be steep, but hopefully it won't be too long before I'm getting the hang of it and am getting good results!
