Default Making Progress

I just got my 1st shoot through umbrella and moved my SB 600 off camera and after about 15 shots I finaly figured out the commander mode and successfully turned off the on camera flash Im so stoked I am on my way to decent portraits. Thanks for looking.

It is nice when you can get light to come fom the side isn't it? I am sure that this will consume much of your photographic interest for the weeks ahead.....hopefully, you will have alot of models!

A nice subtle portrait. I always think that providing you have a catchlight in both eyes you are well on the way to achieving a great shot. Well done

Great job with the lighting Tycooder and an excellent portrait. I think that we are going to see a lot more of these. Nice one buddy.

Jake.
