I've been aquiring some strobist type portrait equipment and playing a little. I got some books on lighting for Father's day and played around a bit. I don't have a studio space yet, so I tried to make it difficult for myself. I put her in front of a window with a couple hot spots on her right cheek. I shot this with a D300 85mm f1.4 and off camera SB-800 pointed into a silver umbrelly off to my right. An overhead light prevented me from getting the strobe higher. she was just talking to my mother, so I didn't pose her at all. By the way she's my wife.
manual, f8, 1/160, ISO 400, flash on TTL - 0
I would love some feedback on the light and anything else you can roast me on.

I think it's that silver umbrella. I started shooting the flash through a white one, then went to the flash with no diffusion and then decided to try the silver. I felt this was the best lighting I came up with as far as overall balance though. Looking at the shadow cast by her collar the white umbrella was definitely less defined than this silver.
