    One from my latest experiment with off camera flash. This was taken with Canon 7D, Canon 70-200mm f4L IS USM @ 70mm, 1/160", iso 160. Canon 580EX II on 1/8th power in a Lastolite Softbox at 45° above and left of subject (camera right), Lastolite White Reflector on right side of subject (camera left) and Lastolite Silver Reflector beneath subject. A set of cheap Yongnuo Radio Triggers to fire the flash remotely completed the setup. I metered and adjusted the flash power to get an aperture of f8 on the lit side of the face. The White Reflector was adjusted to give an aperture of f4 on the shadow side giving me a lighting ratio of 3:1.
    Hopefully I managed to get a good representation of Rembrandt Lighting.
    Any comments or critique is most welcome and as always is much appreciated.

    Erm, not to put too fine a point on it but couldn't you find an actual -human- to shoot? It might engage the attention a little better...

    Point taken Daire. The current in house models, pets included have deserted me for the moment so the mannequin steps in to help me out and doesn't complain too much :)

    Looks like you've got the Rembrandt right, but I'm thinking it could be more contrasty.
