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.

Ah, so I had it pretty much exactly in reverse then...doh! Great drawings BTW

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.
