Default Fun with the softbox

Here's some photos i took last night using my new softbox. It is a 28" Westcott Apollo made for Speedlights. Flash is a Quantaray PZ-1 DHZ. Still breaking it in and learning techniques but so far I am really happy with my purchase! Special thanks to my friend Liz for being my model for the evening.

Not bad, watch for the glare on the glasses tho. There's simple tricks to avoiding that... tilting the head down a lil, tilting head at an angle, or even just slightly tilting the glasses (learned this at work )

Thank you lol that is one thing i noticed even while i was shooting but i wasn't sure how to eliminate those glares. I moved my perspective and it helped a bit but i was still getting it. I heard glasses can be a pain sometimes, especially with softboxes. I will definitely keep those tips in mind for next time, thanks for the help!
