Single Speedlight Images

[marTTyn]

Hello!

Im new to the world of flash photography, and in great need of help.
Shooting with a d90 and i have recently got a sb700.

If anyone has some examples of shots they have taken with a single speedlight they wouldnt mind sharing to show me what i can do and how to setup to achieve similar results would be much appreciated.

I am looking to shoot portrait and some creative photos.

Cheers
Marty

You can achieve a hell of a lot with a single light if you take it off camera Zack Arias' field guide is pretty good (as is his DVD), and David Hobby's strobist blog / DVD starts with a single light.

Couple of random ones from me:

Thanks guys, some really nice results!

SB800 tucked into parasol and firing upwards, therefore using the interior of the parasol as a reflector.

Spent a couple of hours reading through guides and information, and managed to have a play around with inspiration from the above pictures. Quite pleased with the reults from just a single flashgun!

Thanks again for the input.
