Not bad for a first attempt. Posing for self portraits is so hard isn't it?

Yep, especially on self timer! Think this needs more light but needed a lighting stand and brolly really as the flash was too harsh.

or you can make a home made snoot / diffuser / softbox from some cardboard and an old milk bottle, fully blue peter style but will work 

but a light stand and brolly can be had quite cheap from ebay about £35 for both i rekon you could get it for dude

for hard light I prefer the flash to be at more of an angle so that you get a more dramatic look, basically where you've got it but if you were looking at the camera, a stand is helpful too as you can have the flash head height.  Great first attempt though

Again that was using off camera flash

 I think I may order a stand/umbrella soon then get another flash gun!

2 flash guns will give you alot more control, just seeing what nick was able to do with a few stands and umbrellas was awesome, its just getting the hang of where to palce them etc 

I love stobist

Think we need a GGTI photography workshop!

It's either get more strobist gear or a 70-300 lense!

I can probably sort accommodation down here for a weekend off-season if people are interested.

Rumour has it the light's quite good round here.

Sunset at the Gaffers Festival last night.

That's not a bad idea, what sorts of costs are involved (crossings etc).

Back end of Sept car with four people in it = £40-50 return.

Probably sort a house for Friday & Saturday night for 8-10 people for £20 per person and the workshop should be operational for any repairs over the weekend, too. 

I can definitely put together an itinerary for some spectacular shooting locations, too.

This does sound interesting!!
