Sorry Don, meant to post a reply to that shot. Having seen these shots, not sure I would have got close though :)

Allow me to provide a background. I was photographing something or other with a tethered PC. When reviewing images and thinking about the next 'take' Cat jumped up and sat with me. I unclipped the camera and took the shot but it was lit very badly so I slightly re-arranged the flash and refector and the image is the result.

Seconds later Cat was gone so no chance to get all her ears in :wink:

Here is how the cat pic was done....

First drawing is a general layout of the table flash camera and tethered computer. Cat jumped on the table as positioned.

A quick re configuration and introduction on a large reflector - Volia!

So I kept the flash in the same place and bounced light on Cats face. Main flash lit the hair as a hair light would.

All total fluke in two takes she was off!

Utterly brilliant drawings Stephen! They are genuinely charming, I'm not taking the mick, I really like them.

Long time comming but here is one. Took this today for our Fun Challenge thread. Anyone care to give it a go.

Due to the focal length of the lens, the distance from the camera was 10ft. Flash in use : SB80-DX connected to the camera to provide the trigger - Multiblitz studio unit and Metz 45CL.

I'll have a think about this over lunch...
