Long time no post

With school and everything, I haven't had any time to shoot.. But my mate stayed round tonight so I took some snaps of him.. I bounced the flash on my D50 off of the celing with a mirror :lol:

Let me know what you think! :D

first impresions are that the white balance is slightly off. It might be worthwhile having a play with the image temperature removing the orange cast slghtly?

Yes, you have that unattractive orange cast Nath which is typical of shots taken under tungsten light with the wrong WB settng.

If you'd use direct flash (instead of bouncing it) all would have been well as flash has the same colour temperature as daylight and being used directly on the subject would have been stronger than the ambient tungsten light.

You did the right thing in bouncing the flash but the end result is that the tungsten colour cast has won the battle with the flash.

The answer really is to shoot RAW in which case the WB setting doesn't matter and can be adjusted in RAW processing.

I've just changed the WB to daylight temp. :)

Cheers, I can see what you mean, but I really liked that about my shots. That's how my room feels when you're in it. I agree that now looking at the last one it looks off, but in my opinion the others look how I wanted them to.. But cheers for the input :D All appreciated.

Just noticed you come from Bromsgrove Nath. Ive been staying there the last few weeks (and a few more weeks to come). Im at the Bromsgove Hotel, and the client is 11 miles away in Studley. :)

Cool, where is that Joe? I didn't know we had one to be honest :p Have you been out shooting round here yet?
