Simulating Sun


The goal here was to use flash to backlight the subject and give the illusion of natural lighting. I am fairly pleased with the results, but some fill (either thru fill or reflector) in the foreground would have helped.
The flash (SB-800) was positioned on a lightstand about a foot above the bee and at about 11:00 relative to the camera. The flash's light was diffused thru a Lumiquest Lightbox. Actually, the Lumiquest almost never comes off my flash. I love that thing.
Comments welcome,
Eric
