Getting My Boy Scout Badge

John Buffin had commented on Jim Larkin's "Boy Scout Badge" image a few days ago.
I must admit this is one shot I have never taken..so I put myself up to the challenge.
This is the Nikon CLS system at work..and they do make it easy.
Fill flash from the camera lights the magazine,with a SB800 at -1.7 comp. sit's on the floor to light my face.
Another Nikon SB600 at +3.0 comp. lights the wall off to the side.
All fired by my ML3 Remote.....
I don't do this at all I may have to try it again it was fun....

Nikon D200
1/60s f/7.1 at 70.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Great shot Mike! The lighting is fantastic....a much better example of what the Nikon CLS system can do than what's in any manual!

Good stuff. I used an 800 at 1/32 with a snoot to only illuminate the magazine cover. I had an SB 600 knocked down to 1/64 bouncing off of the pages in mine. Yours is great though. I like that you still pulled off the effect with all of the other light. Nice work.
