Merry Christmas!!

My lovely ones.

Sorry... Here is a larger size picture.

Would you let me know what you think about this picture?

I am preparing to take family pictures on Christmas day.

Just FYI, I took this picture using 580EXII off camera flash via shoot thru umbrella.

I love their expressions.

I'm not sure I would have set the camera up the same for this image

Image Date: 2009:12:09 09:41:50

How were your triggering the OCF?

I used the Elinchrom Skyports to trigger the flash...

I am still a learner, and would love to hear how you would have set up. Just FYR, I had no other lights other than the Christmas tree lights behind my dogs... I was trying to get the warm feel of Christmas tree and well expose their faces with OCF...

I love it!

Thank you for your kind words. They really are something special...

Very nice shot, but it appears to be a little soft, probably camera shake from the slow shutter speed. I find that what works best for me for OCF with my Skyports is put it in M with 1/250 shutter speed and f8. Use the 70-200 if possible and that should give you a real nice in focus shot.

Great advice! I will try that next time. Thanks a bunch!!
