Mother and Son

Taken in my garden trying to go back to basics with a shoot through umbrella and speedlight light with a homemade snoot.

Hi, there are others better at lightiing than me, but it looks fine for me. Maybe a little further off axis.

Main thing for me is the BG, it really detects from your wife and son. From my limited knowledge of lighting going to f11 and increasing the flash power would have darkened the BG.

Cheers.

Thanks Andy, I think I may of actually lightened the background in pp, but I tend to get distracted looking at the wife and kids rather than the bigger picture.
