    So I finally bit the bullet and went out to the lovely folks in Gunn's and bought an SB-600 for the camera - I've a gig coming up soon that absolutely requires flash, so off I went. I also had a gig today which I felt would benefit from a bit of strobe, so here is the result - a bit atypical I suppose - zombie girl meets Heath Ledger - but I'm liking what the flash lets me do. Going to read everything I can on strobist.com

    Love it.

    Although I was about to make a "Why so serious" joke intially, I must admit :)

    1st time using flash? I have to say I really like it, only problem I can find is the hand is a wee bit distracting from some reason but thats to me I don't think it would bother other people as much if at all!

    For your first time using flash, well, I have to say well done. I like the tones in the image. What diffusion/light modifer are you using on it?

    I agree with dazftw about the hand. The face is being wiped by the hand but the hand looks like it is just being held there. The implied action is not coming through to the image IMO.

    Thanks boardsies, take your point about the hand being distracting, mostly my fault in posing the shot.

    Lighting setup was two daylight fluorescents at 45 degrees either side of the model about 1.5 to 2 metres away and the flash bounced off the ceiling for a diffuse toplight. The model is great fun to work with, she's about 6'2" so bring a ladder :)
