Just bounce the light, Toby.

Andy, did you notice any difference between the two lenses?

Thanks. I don't find that I get quite as good results as that with bounced tbh, although never tried bounced with a reflector. Not sure if that'd work? Our house is really bad for natural light too :(

Directly in front, with the reflector at a 45 degree angle leaning up against the light stand, so you're shooting through the gap between the softbox and the reflector

Thanks :)
 
See @Sir SR 's bounced flash shots... Admitadley bouncing is sometimes not as nice as a well executed softbox//umbrella shot but if you're short on time and space it's a good work around.

And yes, that is me. :LOL:

Surprised there hasn't been much chat about the upcoming Tamron 85mm F1.8 VC that is soon to be released. Anyone fancy one?

Yep I use bounce more often than anything else for that very reason ;)

Depends on price and quality.

Any suggestions for a 10-stop filter? For use on a 24-70 F2.8?

I know Lee are good, but they are expensive!

I got a cheap screw on one for the 24, think the brand was xsource. Not really had a chance to use it though

Haida is also good
 
Well my GAS is cured for a little while, as I just acquired a new printer :D
 
I need a new printer. Thinking of a canon pro 1
 
My daughter was unwell for a couple of days. She is better now and asked me if she can pose for daddy. How could I refuse? Bad weather outside, but a quick one indoors was enough to bring some smile.

Bought one of these for £23. Very impressed, little colour cast that just requires some desaturation of the purple channel. I've gone off SRB due to their colour cast, even my 3 stop N grad is starting to get a strong blue cast.

Canon Pixma Pro 100s is a much cheaper option. It's what I bought and I'm very happy with the results, more than adequate for home use. Get used to soft proofing your images though, bit of a ballache/nigh on impossible if you want to get your prints to match your screen perfectly, but at least with soft proofing it's pretty damn close (was a lengthy discussion on AVF about this). Of course, you need your screen calibrated properly first ;)

I can understand not wanting to purchase the more expensive ones, I bought 6 and 10 stop hitech firecrest filters and nearly had to remortgage the house! I struggled with the colour cast of the older hitechs hence paying a bit extra for no colourcast. If there are cheaper brand out there that are good it's worth going with them.

She will do, but you need to work with her :). You are right about the plant .

Never easy with a poorly kid. Glad she`s on the mend mate. Mine is 15 now and it`s nigh on impossible to get a decent photo of her.
Lovely image :thumbs:

Thanks Paul. I used to get frustrated to take images of her, but realised late that you have to become a kid and understand them and wait for the opportunity. It is still hard work :(

Cheers David, was a bit peed off yesterday, train was delayed from Marloie to Brussels so got no time in Brussels, but managed to get that shot at the station so I am happy :-)
 
Thought I`d dust off the 85 and pop a couple of snaps off ... Both at f1.8
