It's been a while...

Hi All,

Wow! It's been nearly a whole year since I've posted (my bad) but don't think I haven't been around. I've been reading and learning and reading some more.

I recently purchased some studio lights (Yes, those ones off Ebay) to play around with. A friends sister offered to model for me so we got together and this is one of the shots we came away with.



Exif:

D90 w/ Tamron 17-50 2.8
f/5
1/100sec
ISO 640
Exp Comp: -1.3 (Don't know why I did that, maybe so I could get a faster SS, can't remember either way)
Focal length: 50mm (Probably one of the reasons why the photo isn't 100% sharp???)

It was shot with 2 shoot through brollys with continuous lights (125w bulbs) and I also bounced my SB600 on camera off the ceiling.

So, I know the photo isn't 100% sharp. Is this because I shot at 50mm and lenses are pretty much never 100% sharp at the longest end? Or is it user error? LOL!

Also, I nearly always chop off an arm or something that really should be included in the picture. I know we were very limited with space in my loungeroom but no excuses really, it seems to be a bad habbit! Does it kill the photo?

Anywhos, I do really like the picture overall but any coments and criticisms & other things I haven't picked up that you can point out to me would be greatly appreciated! =)

Thanks in advance!!
