Gypsy

I was able to play with some off camera flash. This was my goal for the weekend, the trouble was that I was having trouble finding a model.

Thank goodness for the family pet, tough they don't really cooperate very well.

I sort of liked the challenge of it.

With the cat napping on an old piece of cloth in front of an open window I was able to put a flash unit to camera left and wait a bit until the sun came in from behind for back lighting and take a few shots.

I like the results but need LOTS more practice.

All in all, I really can see how lighting comes into play and improves what would otherwise be a very dull shot.
