I like the first one because of the sharpness in the mirror and the great DoF control. The long gold dress has come out superbly, too - very attractive. The dark background in some of the others, though, almost swallows up the subjects in dark clothes. Was that deliberate? Whether it was or not, if this is a first attempt at flash, I reckon it's pretty good on the whole - I'd be pleased to get results as sharp as some of yours! I haven't got any decent results yet with my flash attempts!

i like no 7
it could have been very intresting if he had been in a black suit with a few tweeks
your daughter as just disapeared into the back drop the only way she dhows up that she is infront of the back drop is the hand on her waist and it looks like a toe
great composition

Cheers guys, i cant say that the black on black was intentional. My daughters dress was gold and i had a large black sheet at hand, her friend showed up in a black dress and there wasn't much i could do at that stage.
Nigel's flash tutorial has been immensely helpful in trying to get to grips with flash in general and i cant recommend it enough for anyone wanting to improve flash usage.

I'm really glad it worked out and you enjoyed using the AF360, with some sparkling results! Even in the outdoor one with that bright sly in behind you've managed to balance the scene so well and give good exposure on the subjects.
I'm hoping the guide will be available here for members soon.... John is looking into it with the editorial people .... In the meantime please send a PM to me if you're interested.

A perfectly exposed set with wonderful clarity.
Best wishes,

Taken with k5iis and either the F 50mm f1.7 or the F 28mm f2.8 + af 360 flash for some.
I enjoyed trying the flash and am fairly happy with the result.
Cheers Nigel
I can see that I have altered the white balance on the couple edited from raw, will have to redo those.
