I have been testing out this basic technique. I put my speed light basically directly ontop of my lens as close as I can get it and still point it straight at my subject. I'm attempting to get my light as flat as possible. I know it's basic but it is also iconic. I would love to hear other photographers thoughts on how it turned out.
One of my favorite waterfalls I've photographed in recent years. deep in the backcountry of Vancouver Island lies this pristine oasis.

These are a highly endangered species, and the rescue center has this young male tiger, which they hope will breed with their already existing female Malayan tiger.
A new arrival at the rescue center. She was very friendly and very flirty, rolling about on her back and meowing, then staring at you as if she might be hungry. A magnificently beautiful animal

Thank you for the advise! I think I'm going to try to wet out the shadow and see how that looks. I like your rule of thumb on the camera height. I try to keep the camera height at eye level. But think I stood up a little bit.
I understand! I really appreciate the critique! I will be keeping it in mind next time I'm testing with this look. With this test I was going for as flat lighting look. Ive had some clients comment on how much they like that look so I have been trying to prefect it. But personally I like photos with more depth in the lighting. But I like to be able to provide people with either look.
