Using an off camera flash.

I've been practicing lately using a flashgun mounted on a light stand or hand held and here are a few photo's from to today.





Here are a couple more, I put a snoot on the flash to create a circle of light on the model.





This is a lot of fun and using the snoot took a lot of testing and fiddling with.  Trying to figure out how to aim it was the most difficult part of the task then getting exposure and flash setting down was next.

Something else I learned is the position of my flash commander in relation to the flash gun has the effect of the flash not firing.  When I put the light behind me, it didn't fire so I had to move next to or behind it to make it work.

It's an IR commander and I imagine a radio commander would have performed better.
