I just received my umbrella/softbox for my flash that I have been learning and reading up on through this workshop (I’ll explain more later).
So i used a cheap radio trigger to put my flash off camera and inside a large 28 inch softbox and just shot my cats, since real people are not available just yet. LOL.
The great news is that it works just as I thought it would. Between the large soft light source and my camera on manual settings, I got this shot straight out of camera. I can’t wait to try it outdoors with real people!
Rocco and Gibson hope you like it!

Aww this guy is such a pretty baby. Interesting photo with the blurred colors and him stage right. Very cool. :)
Thank you sista! rocco is sitting on my desk chair and the background is my desk. LOL to the right is a spindle of cds and the blue thing is Summers running hat! LOL shhhhhh!
The catch lights are really great with the soft box :) What a purty kitty………..MEOoooooow
meeeeow are you cleaning yourself with your paws also?? LOL Thanks honey. I love the catch lights as well. The other softboxes I have are 50 inch and wonderful but you have to plug them in. I like these because i use my flash and can take it on the go. Rocco is a big ham! :)
Excellent! we will have to talk more about lighting.. i’m clueless!! lol :))
Thanks girl! Anytime lets chat. I’m no pro at all but have gone through different lighting and have read A LOT, i mean A LOT, but am now starting to actually DO IT and not be LAZY LOL!!! :) Mail me anytime :)
