i have been wondering how people do this hot spot behind them effect, anyone care to shed some light on it or what it is atcually called so i can search for it?
im wondering how to do it efficiently, my method is long and have to have a good selection of the subject ~.~

here's a couple links I found helpful when diving into strobist photography recently.

Lovely work, Zansho! the model could only be happy with the results, i'm sure :0)

Please tell me what I am doing wrong/right.

I had a 430EXII as Key light camera left 45 degrees above the head 4 ft away. . I had a YN560 as a fill light at the camera, straight on 4 feet from the chair. I had 2 foam boards near the chair for added reflection on the right side of the face. I metered each light. The Key metered at F 7.1, The fill F4. The combination metered at F5.6.

Would you consider this "soft" lighting? Also, I see that my wife is in good focus, but the dog is a bit OOF. Is that because of the F 5.6? Should I have increased the flash power to 1/1 to get to shoot at F8 or so?

Thanks!
