Flash Photography Hobby?

So if you have been following my posts, most of them have pictures so it is pretty clear I spent some time with a camera, like I needed  new hobby. A few weeks ago I bought a flash for the camera and have had lots of fun with it. I am no professional photographer but have really enjoyed my new Sigma EF-530 DG Super flash. One of the features that I liked about this flash was the ability to strobe, I know with photoshop one could probably create an image similair to the following but I thought this function was quite cool so my resident model and I stepped into the studio to create some magic. The move being performed in the picture is called a Maradona which is because it was created by the soccer legend Diego Maradona. 

My next big adventure was when Rylee said that she had always wanted a picture of herself splashing in a puddle so when a rainy day came along I helped her get that picture she has wanted. Having this big flash was great and now to bounce the light off a wall.



My other favorite feature is that I can use my flash wirelessly meaning it doesn't have to be on my camera pretty basic photography stuff but I am just learning so this was awesome. I have been playing around with this alittle here are some pics of Rylee and some unknown shredders at Pow Mow, enjoy.
