    John I like this but I wish you would have shot a wee bit smaller aperture to get son in focus as well.....nice results from the box....I'm looking at the big Apollo for the flashgun soon I hope....

    Yep. I thought f/8 would have done it, with the son right on Dad's back, or perhaps I could have focused on Dad's ear instead of his eyes. Actually I kind of like the way it turned out, though I can't say I did it on purpose. There's a little bit of mystery or poignancy.

    Thanks for your comment.

    The quality of light is really special, too. Beautiful. Was that the 24" ezbox?

    Thanks Diva. Yes. It was the EZ-box. I tried to use the 28" Wescott Apollo, but with the stand I had it on, I couldn't tilt it down far enough. The EZ-box is more versatile that way.

    I have that issue as well and I was thinking that a boom might solve that?

    Since you thought f/8 was going to work at having them both in focus, I am curious about what focal length and distance you were using.
