Wow, amazing shots and great model! I would say #3 is my favorite of the set on your website, but I like all of them. Processing works really good too.

All right, here we go. Let me know what do you guys/gals think. 285vh bounce off 33" umbrella.
The sun was setting, so I was in a hurry to get some shots in... Please go easy.

good job .. .but I think you need another flash separating your kids to the background... like jumpers or rim/highlights.

Thanks Phil. I'm going back and adding another or two more lights, but and then I need to post the results in another thread.

I haven't posted any yet... so here goes:

One from a recent wedding:

at what f/stop did you shoot this at. The lighting and pose are alright but the whole image is pretty soft. Not enough punch or contrast.

Looks like f/11.

My first real photo using off camera flash, taken using a Jessops 360AFD into umbrella camera right. Back drop is shutter doors into my garage. Decided to give it a "vamp" feel after watching Daybreakers on tv the other night.
