Trying a new DYI beauty dish

wolf911

I did a DYI 20 inch beauty dish on camera right and a flash to camera left behind my daughter to capture this. Used my new cactus v5s, which seem to work very well. So what do you think?

I think the shadow is a wee bit too pronounced on her neck from her chin.
Perhaps if you lowered the light it would be a little more proportionate to the light.
Otherwise I really like the lighting here and job well done on the DIY...
Lovely young lady as well.....

Very nice. Light is just a bit hard, try moving the light closer or raising iso just a bit to soften the shadows.
Very nice as is. She is a pretty young lady.

Thanks for comments, I do agree on softening the shadow. Was my first time working with the light, moving it closer should help.
