Not As It Seems

Here is another photo of my Daughter. Was at the beach having some family time and decided to try and pull some strobist tricks out of nowhere, with nothing but my beach camera (Nikon D70) and it's 18-200.

Took this shot on full manual, with the onboard speedlight on manual too. Shot is ISO 200, F11 & 1/500th. This was where it ended up. Took some tweaking and the little speedlight was at full tilt overcoming the aperture.

Because the flash is on camera and not finessed the light is hard. Next step will be to get that flash off camera and restrict it a little. Still reasonably happy with the effect and now bright daylight looks like twilight.
