Here's a few going back over this year, it's amazing how versatile a single speedlight can be:

Anybody wondering whether it's worth the time and money to get into flash photography needs to look at RileyNZL's post, along with many others in this thread. I fail to see how any photographer could ever get bored as long as they have an off camera light source.

I used to feel that way until I actually just bought one of CL to try out.

Been wanting to do more with flash ever since. Very versatile indoors and out.

No doubt! That's a heck of a post! Great shots Riley! I come and go with flash, but it serioulsy opens up a ton of opportunities. The sky is the limit with creativity and honing your light sculpting skills as well. This seems to be time of year I start to break out the flash gear. Not sure why. I am currently trying to decide which ND filter to pick up so I can use my primes more in brighter conditions.

Not the most creative, but a couple I cracked off the other day. The flash really makes the subject pop.

Aw heck, here's another just trying to see if using two different transceivers would fire two different flashes. The yn-622 will indeed allow for the rf-603 to pass through!

Did a bunch of single flash selfies today. This is one of the bunch.

Going to try a few more single flash set ups and then add a second and play around some more. That should keep me off the streets for a few hours.

The sun had already gone down behind the mountains during a maternity shoot last weekend.

First image, no flash, then with a 580exII with a CTO gel.

Nice shot! ^^

thank you! :)

Very nice shot. Can you give details on your lighting setup ?

Single speedlight in a long rectangular softbox directly above the subjects at 1/4 power. And the rest, is... well history? lol

Josh Young wrote in post #16377268 (external link)
I'll take a guess: umbrella-ish almost directly overhead with some spill into the background :)

Pretty much, just with a rectangular softbox. :P

JakAHearts wrote in post #16377558 (external link)
What is lighting the backgroung here? Or is that a dropped in background?

White curved wall, with light spill like Josh said.

Beautiful shots Encrypted. Excellent lighting

Thank you! :D :D

Another picture to share?

This is what the photos mostly looked like straight out of camera. This has only slight color correction done and a dash of sharpening.
