Lighting 102 update. So the first shoot was way too hasty. I need to lose the line, " Can I have five minutes of your time?". It always last longer than that and I get rushed. Second shoot turned out great and my homework has been turned in. This time I used the bare green wall in the b'fast nook as a background and the marvelous 50mm 1.8 lens. Flash was set to 1/16th for proper exposure and placed at different angles to illustrate the affects light has on the subject(the wife) from those angles.

This is one of the better ones. See my photo stream at flickr.com
