Still learning, now with diffused fash

[foggy4ever]

Having had the Sigma lens a few months I really enjoy having a hunt round the garden but really needed to add some diffused flash so bought a bracket and diffuser from amazon. As always technique is far more important than kit so after a little practice here's some before and after.

Kit D300, Sigma 105mm, SB600, also have the 1.4tc

Cheers, I'll have a good read when I'm on the pc next. My pp is quite minimum as I only really use capture NX2.

Well done. The flash shots look sharper. The centre of focus looks better placed in the flash shots too (although that presumably isn't because you used flash. ).

I like the compositions too, especially the last two.
