Off-camera flash portrait

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>I recently purchased an off-camera flash (Metz 44-AF, to be more precise). I have never been an avid flash user, since I don't like the light that it produced, nor have I used my camera flash often, because of the harshness of the ball of light that comes bursting out of it</b>.<br /><br />But having said that, I am in love with this off-camera flash. It creates wonderful, studio-like light, that with a simple light reflector can mimic real studio light. I did a few test images, one of them follows after this text, in which I tried to use the flash as effectively as I could. I do have a lot of playing around and testing in front of me, but nevertheless I'm keen on where this is going.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiusAen2skGw_KdffRHrOj1UI2cYb6LgrJSup-3_LlDkx6IuEWrqT2KwV8XiMIjT31NdBM2YV1qV-AC5nM-RDjWOPqsYFmdBOyW-J7Y6x4YnfcQ36BiqKGzML94v3PzT-gF-gGj-7hXYTPq/s1600/IMG_3676.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiusAen2skGw_KdffRHrOj1UI2cYb6LgrJSup-3_LlDkx6IuEWrqT2KwV8XiMIjT31NdBM2YV1qV-AC5nM-RDjWOPqsYFmdBOyW-J7Y6x4YnfcQ36BiqKGzML94v3PzT-gF-gGj-7hXYTPq/s1600/IMG_3676.jpg" /></a></div></div>
