I keep trying to get a good photo of the cat but it always seems to go wrong!
This is typical of me getting the framing and focus wrong again!
This is 'Sonny' brother to Cher the cat in my last post.

I was looking at some old scans, negs, slides and prints and thinking the same thing. I may call it the Seventies or something like that.
I'm afraid it will be a couple of months (Or more Rain) before it gets done. _________________ Pentax K10D & K100D. Many Tamron Adaptall SP lenses, Fujinon f4.5 400mm. A loved Lens Baby 2, Lubitel triplet +++ and many film cameras. Mainly a Digital user inc G5, GR2

Excellent, I would like to know what lights etc you used in the shot you posted in the Café. In the "Fashion school" thread. _________________ My homepage, all manual shots |

The lighting on the shot in question were two white reflecting brollies and a third flash behind as a hair light. Brolly one was right of camera and the other was left of camera in front of the model. Using a brolly, reflector or shot through (Or other reflector or diffuser) relies on getting the brolly/softbox/reflector at the right distance to the model and also getting the flash unit at the right distance to the reflector/diffuser.
It is all about light source size in relation the subject size. It isn’t difficult but it seems the most common mistake is having the light source, - flash too close to the brolly or reflector. This results in fairly hard light when you are usually after soft lighting, it makes the idea of using a brolly useless.
Light from flash units is very predictable and easy to control. _________________ Pentax K10D & K100D. Many Tamron Adaptall SP lenses, Fujinon f4.5 400mm. A loved Lens Baby 2, Lubitel triplet +++ and many film cameras. Mainly a Digital user inc G5, GR2
