Thanks, Steve, my friend! I'm so glad you like it. Yes, I did use flash outside. That is pretty much the ONLY time I voluntarily use flash, other than when I'm forced to because I'm shooting some sort of indoor event. In this case, the kids were outside in late afternoon shade, with the sunlight coming through a tree on the right. It was too dark for a fast enough shutter speed to insure a sharp photo without cranking up the ISO so I had to use the flash. Seems to have worked out OK, though.
Thanks, Jim, my dear friend! I always appreciate your kind comments.
I used my on-camera 580 flash for this coupled with a little gizmo called a Presslite that helps to both focus and diffuse the light to a very fine degree. It's a nifty little attachment. If you don't already know what it is, you can see it here: http://www.presslite.com/home.php
Fond regards,

Endre, I always look forward to your entries, and to seeing your photogenic daughters. Did you use an Alien Bee here?
Just won another WA and this will undoubtedly be the next. As if your artistic merits are not enough, you recruit your gorgeous models. It's so good it's depressing...
Thanks, Yakim, my friend! i just use whatever is around the house for my photos. I have an idea for "Self Portrait" but I don't know if I have time to pull it off.
Warm regards,
Endre
