flyrod98 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2007 I've had a Canon 430EX speed lite since late summer but haven't spent much time learning how to use it. So in anticipation of a family gathering Christmas Eve, decided to try a bounce card similar to something presented at this web site. A Better Bounce Card These two pics are result of last nights experiments uing a 3x5 card. I got a sheet of craft foam like he uses for his cards at Hobby Lobby today so I can experiment with the card height easier and control the amount of light that goes forward. I like what I'm seeing so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2007 Beautiful photos, vivid colors and the detail in the white fur is awesome, and the over all clean crispness is sweet. Great shots. Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyrod98 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2007 I cut a card out of the craft foam and played with it tonight. I haven't downloaded them yet. I can't seem to have much luck with any of the camera modes except AV and flash sync to 1/200th (fixed). I am playing around the 18-55mm kit lens and the 50mm 1.8II nifty fifty as it is sometimes called. Any ideas anyone? The model is Pippy. She works for nothing. Thanks everyone for the comments.

Used the 50mm f1.8 lens, flash synced to 1/200s, f5.6 apeture priority mode. Cropped to this Converted to Black & White Used Sharpening and B/W conversion Actions from Russel Browns Site Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
