Thanks xoldboy, I'm certainly not a pro just trying to get better. HappySnapper90 wrote in post #7816690 There's a hot spot on her left cheek. And isn't a lot of lighting gear designed to work best at 1/60 not 1/100? I don't have experience with off camera flash. Also the lighting seems to be everywhere which isn't always most desirable. Maybe similar to the lighting in this post and note the comment about flat lighting: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=683971 Yours seems to be a well diffused bounce flash which throws light everywhere. Directional lighting can have a different more attractive appearance. Thanks Happysnapper, I have'nt heard that about the shutter speed before but i will certainly look into that. I also thought the light was a little hot in some areas, I may have another go tonight if she's up to it.

Thanks Stickman, i have'nt tried shooting through the umbrella yet maybe next time. I'm confused wouldn't moving the light source closer make it brighter? towersinthesky wrote in post #7819062 ^^ I'd try maybe bouncing the flash into an umbrella first or shooting through a softbox, it will defuse it a bit more evenly. Thanks towerinthesky, i did bounce into an umbrella and i don't have a softbox yet. I think it looks fairly good though Cosha wrote in post #7819284 also pull her away from the back ground another foot or so she she "pops" a little more Thanks Cosha, i'll give it a try. +1 on the hot spots too under expose her by a stop or too and use the flash as a fill in for a nice effect
