the focus is way off and for f8 it lacks any detail in the face and the eyes are not tack sharp, looks like you missed the focus point (eyes)
Les :shrug:
ps maybe a faster shutter speed would help!
This is what I'm not getting I focused on her right eye using spot
I could try 1/200 just :shrug:
Depressed
Are your flashguns in sync with your camera??? worth checking the sync
Les
On my Sony a77 I noticed that with one lens my images were not as sharp as the others and on the Sony a77 (and maybe others) there is an option to adjust the focus for that lens (while on that body).
Is there anything like that on your body?
Worth getting a tripod and doing again, have you a remote for it? i'd expect sharper stuff at 1/125, looks like there maybe a little camera shake here?
I'd also try to fill the frame more, taking it upright so the face is bigger in the shot

Thats why I'd recommend a much higher shutter speed & maybe lift the ISO if you need to, to achieve this

The flash speed defines the effective shutter speed assuming low effective ambient. You will be up close to 1/1000th of a second, even though your shutter speed is 1/125th.
The lens is not in focus (looks to be front focused as there doesn't appear to be any part of the head in perfect focus). Could you be moving back and fore between focusing and taking the shot (focus/recompose or half shutter press)? At short distances, even f8 can give shallow depth of field...
You would be surprised at how much you might have moved.I was still, did not move, as she was, focused and fired :shrug:
Baffled :shrug: what lens are you using ? the only thing i can think of is you flashes being out of sync with camera, as the second shot outside looks a lot better, but i may be way off, you need to get Garry or Hoppy on the case, PM one or both of them

Either that or the focus was off for some reason (lens misalignment/low ambient making phase detect inaccurate/wrong focus point). In a studio environment, it is very unlikely to be camera shake.
Have you tried it with a variety of lenses - might isolate the fact as to whether its shake or the individual lens - not entirely (if at all) scientific, but might give you an idea?

If the studio has high ambient light could it not be that we are getting two images, one from the flash and the second from the ambient light, thereby looking like camera shake.
If the studio has high ambient light could it not be that we are getting two images, one from the flash and the second from the ambient light, thereby looking like camera shake, alternatively the flash is actually being drowned out by the ambient light and is being shut down before its given a full blast. Can you take a test shot at the same iso/shutter/aperture without flash and see what you get in terms of an image.
is this the only shot from this series that is soft like this?
What about the shot before and the shot after?
The occasional soft shot is no great issue but if its every shot then you have a mechanical error somewhere with the camera and/or lens.
Yes to bothD7000 is notoriously "off" with focus. Have you dialed in a micro adjustment for the lens?
Was there a lens hood on?
