Sisters

These are the daughters of some friends we had over for dinner yesterday.
Just a simple, quick snap with a single on camera flash.

D2x, AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.4

NIKON D2X    ---    85mm    f/4.0    1/60s    ISO 100

 

It may be slightly OOF. Mind you that it was shot from a bit of a distance also, with just the single flash.
Personally I would have preferred the background a bit darker also. Since I flashed from a distance, the BG came out brighter then I expected.
I'm planning a portrait session of these friends with a better thought out setup - should be fun.

 

Thanks James. Yeah, not the most colorful image I guess, I may liven up the original a bit - not sure yet. Actually, the full size original looks nice and certainly sharp enough.
I'll probably give it a try.

 

Thanks Graeme!
I'm with you concerning available light - I prefer it anytime.
But there are times you need light. I love toying with the Nikon CLS, for example.
In this case, indoors, evening darkness, for a quick snap I used an on camera flash.
I used my SB-800, bounced at about 45 deg. or so (since I was at a bit of a distance and needed the light!) with the Nikon provided little reflector mounted (omni bounce-like reflector).
Works perfectly.

 

Aaiii   , that would not be for me either.
There will be more Graeme, you will find it to be worth the hunt when you do get one.
