Re: La femme fatale!

Reminds me of a James bond girl!

Have you one with the gun pointing directly at the camera?,That would be cool.

Re: La femme fatale!

The pose of the last one captured the looks of a dangerous lady to be around.

Scary shots, Peter!

Re: La femme fatale!

Yeah scary, but you did a great job with the exposures. The black on black looks well defined from where I'm sitting. It's especially good in that first shot, folds in her clothing well defined as well as outfit being well defined against the background.

Well done.

Re: La femme fatale!

I have seen some pictures from Peter of this lady looking much more relaxed - hopefully he will show one or two

I have some really cheap flash triggers which I have been using for years but a few weeks ago a friend of mine gave me some pocket wizard triggers to try out. Well I was really struck with them and how easy they are to work. I could use ttl and high speed sync which I could only dream of doing with the cheap triggers I have been using. Well the pw are out of my price range for a full set but I did pick up a set of these the other day "Hähnel Tuff TTL Wireless TTL Flash Triggers" They work in ttl and also high speed sync and for well under a £100.
This was my first real try of them and I must say they seemed to work a treat

I've never used anything like that myself, I wouldn't know how, but it looks like you've certainly got yourself some very useful kit there and for a good price too.

That black on black detail is outstanding. Hopefully it'll also come over nicely in the print too.

As an aside - I'm also pleased I can see all those shades of black clearly on my screen as I haven't calibrated it for a few weeks.

I need to calibrate mine as well been a while The joy of this kit is its easy to use and the camera talks to the flash as if it was in the hot shoe and not a few feet away in a soft box.
