Post Your Favorite "Off Camera Hot Shoe Flash" Shots

Welcome MikeKelly..

nice photo..

here is my newest favorite.. slightly processed with portraiture software.


1/250, iso 125, f 5.6. wescott softbox 580 full power,

^ I like it.

Did you intentionally over smooth the skin? I don't know if that's the effect you were going for.

Only thing that looks weird is his hand. His body is bronze colored but his hand looks bluish? I'm not sure what color.

the truth was he was doing push ups before taking off the shirt.. so maybe the pushups got his hand dirty? don't know really, i will look at the orginal

here is one with out an edits.. just out of camera to DPP and resized from picasa..

it is weird his hands are like white compared to the rest.

Yeah if you smoothed the skin it looks weird, otherwise great photo!

Like the first one but I think the skin smoothing was over done a bit.

Otherwise these are more fantastic shots...

My first expirement trying your technique... I like the effect alot, so I will go shoot for real tomorrow and see what I get...

Tony thank you very much for starting this thread. I've been watching with much interest from the beginning and really appreciate your willingness to share your techniques with us. You may remember a long time ago trading PMs with me when I first saw and admired your work.

Using your techniques I finally got some images that I liked. The following shots were with a 5D, 70-200 2.8, 580 EXIIs, Photoflex softbox, reflector, and HSS. I had to use Canon's IR system for these shots since my Mini and Flex Pocket Wizards are still on back order. Both images were ISO 100 1/320s f/2.8

^^

Wow, Stan, I think you're on to something here. These really made me look for more than just a few seconds. I like them alot. Good job, very inspiring. (now I have to try it.)

@StanNJ1

i think you hit a home run...!!!!

so the 1Ds III shutter snc speeds are 1/320, nice.. i am still capped at 1/200, i can't wait for my pocket wiz.. a pair flex. i ordered them 4 weeks ago still back ordered at B and H.

good work there !!

I do believe Stan used HSS, but I agree those are some beautiful pics!

This is Lauren a '09 Senior shot yesterday. Thought I would drop in some pullback shots as well. Hope you enjoy!!

Awesome job as usual Tony and thanks for the pullbacks. I was wondering, how are you getting full coverage of your standing subjects with one bare flash. Are you using the wide angle diffuser or anything?

No diffuser. Nothing at all.

Thanks for your comments.
