Playing with off camera flash

[BrianH]

I designed a simple adjustable off camera flash setup for my lil studio.

I kinda like the feel of the light

Let me know whatcha think.

Just single Key light

Playing here LOL

Key light camera left and overhead backdrop hair light (a Bit Hard)

There is enough hair light in the second photo that Im no sure if it works. Maybe go for more separation by putting this type of light source behind and diaganal to the subject. Or snoot the hair light? Nina has a good example here: http://www.pnwphotos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4439&page=2&highlight=separation+light

I like the lighting in the first one. Is there a modifier on it?

I know the second is too strong of Hair light.

The key on both is basically a 5' x 6' softbox with a Minolta 4000AF flash for light source. The Flash guns is mounted on a separate stand so you can change the effects, shadow depth and strength by angling the flash. These are 2 of the first 6 shots taken with the new setup.
