Corbyn (Grandson) and mequick experiment with flash (see the tips section) now I have my background.
These are virtually as taken from camera, only adjustments being WB setting and sharpening plus crop.
ISO 200
1/125s
f4.5 - kit lens!!!
Camera was set up up with SB800 speedlight directed at 60 degrees back over my head - no diffuser fitted - never even thought about that until I saw the website tips - some great wedding images on there btw - I digress)
Corbyn
and again
and he took this one - well he pressed the cable release
me
must try and remember to lose some wrinkles next time - LOL

Thanks Adam - when reading the ideas on that website - he was indicating that the flash is used to enhance the available light (light coming in from the window was behind me but was not sufficient not to use flash) and I have to admit the technique works.

I see you tried it out with the hands in, as you mentioned you might!  Cool! Your grandson is really cute. I think the lighting worked out great, too... although the backdrop could maybe be less lit... maybe try sitting further away from it?
I really like the idea you had of Corbyn looking up in the first one. I think, for me, it would have worked a little better if the camera had been just a smidge higher- a little more eyes, a little less nostril. But still really well done- I can tell you two were having fun together.

Thats one of the drawbacks of flash - especially when the batteries are a liitle drained - and camera on tripod - he was actually controlling the poses!
I can also see what you mean about the backdrop - thanks
