New Lens And Flash

[MrRedDog]

Hi All,

My new lens Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM and Flash Canon Speedlite 580EX II have arrived.

So below are some of my first shots

Feedback would be appreciated

Cheers, MRD

Lucky you!

Are you bouncing the flash off the ceiling? You can also try bouncing it behind you.

Also, try focusing on the dogs eyes when you take your photos.

Have fun

Nice start!

You can do some really nice stuff with that lens and flash. I've got them too. I do a lot of ceiling bounce flash stuff.

Have fun!

Thanks for the reply's people.

Huga - I was trying to bounce the flash, but I'm not sure what angle to use I'll have to do a test with them all.

I am not quick enough to focus on my 2 little fur-kids

Thanks for your help.

Bounce angle...either straight up or just one click less than vertical.

The only reason I get decent photos of Barkly is because he has a good "stay"

practice ,practice,practice , and definitely focus on EYES You have gorgeous subjects ... who look as if they are happy to sit & be looked at thru adoring eyes ... so encourage them to 'stay '.. and then play with focus . ;)
