Default Portrait Practice needed
Hi everyone,
I am so excited, eagerly awaiting delivery of my Birthday present (thanks darling husband & Mum!), an SB-600 Speedlight for my D90.
Can't wait to start exploring this new toy & see what difference it makes to my indoors portrait photography, an area I dearly want to improve in. I'll be trawling this site for tutorials & tips.
In the meantime, here are a few pics of my kids from the last few weeks, apart from my soldier boy shot from last summer.
Ella at the Zoo

Bathtime
Bathing Princess

Mermaid

Soldier Boy
Soldier Boy B&W

TFL
Paula

Very nice set Paula, she does have beautiful blue eyes, I don't think she was thrilled about the tub picture though.
I have the SB-600, I think your going to like it! Can't wait to see some shots after you get it!!

What beautiful kids! You'll have so much fun with that new toy! I love the clarity of the third and the softness of the first.
