Army Strong

When my brother was deployed to Iraq they gave him this teddy bear to give to his kid... well he's 20 and doesn't have a kid.. so he gave it to me.
Anyways, here is a neat shot I took in my studio tonight.
Camera Settings: ISO 100, f/11, 38mm, 1/60s
580EX II Flash Setting: Manual Mode, 1/1, 35mm Zoom
Some may ask why 1/1... and my answer is this. I needed more power, so I reached up there, pressed the select button, turned the knob in the direction of turning it up, and hit the select button to set it... I went from shooting at 1/16 to 1/1.. completely on accident, but it allowed me to drop down to ISO 100 and f/11 without being underexposed... which is always good.
Picture of Setup: (I made that table!)

Finished Product:

Interesting history to that bear.
Thank you for showing us your setup Jeremy, I like to see how folks make use of the area and equipment they have
Catch light in the bears eyes looks good, I have no clue about studio lights, but I like what you have achieved here.
Have you used just the flash and an umbrella for reflection,
or have you used other lighting as well? .... well done
Lovely capture

:skippy Everyone has the right to be stupid, but some people just abuse the privilege :dgrin
I shut the room's light off, and the only light eing used is my 580EX II on my light stand with umbrella. The table I used has a few layers of poly on it which makes it semi-reflective.
thanks for your comments!
