    Re: September Photo Project: The Eyes have it

    Couldn't resist this one.
    Oh all right, these two.

    Thought I'd add the full image, so you can see where the feather came from

    Oh Alison, this was taken with the 580EXII flash.
    I used a Lastolite Apollo XL softbox on the flash to diffuse the light, I think it worked on the black kitten?
    The softbox makes the camera/flash unwieldy, but since it's bigger than the kitten it's good for shadows.

    I use Warehouse Express online, good prices and fast delivery.
    Ordered Tuesday 11pm, arrived Friday before 9am.

    The velcro they supply has appallingly unsticky adhesive, I replaced it with decent stuff.
    In the end I'm going to use velcro adjustable straps (must buy more) because it tends to sag.
    Find for closeups of the cats, but not so good for other uses like portraits I guess.

    Thanks for the welcome. He is my oldest son Brett, I have learned so much from these forums. First lesson- it is easy to lose objectivity when you love the subject. I can see now that the lighting seems flat - but I love the expression. It was nice to capture something other than the typical teen scowl.
    I am looking forward to the October project.

    Just had to post another of my baby girl.
    I am in love with her gorgeous big dark eyes. Or, liquid eyes, as OT likes to call them :thumbsup:
