Rocco, the Poser by

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!
