Studio lighting is here! My furry subject. . .

My studio lights are here! I ordered a large softbox (diffuses the light from my flash unit), flash unit and stand. I also have the reflector which came last week. I am waiting for my backdrop stand and some other computer equipment to come later this week. I LOVE this lighting. It is soooo fun. I read a lot about it before it came and I prepared myself to need to work on this for a few months (I was told within 2 months I could 'get' studio lighting), but I think this is a niche so far. It came easy (but perhaps to reading a lot before it came). Nicholas and Celia were asleep so I had to wait until a cat would come and be my subject (they were afraid of these large shiny flashy things in the livingroom. So, Toby became my subject. Jason was watching a movie on TV but he kindly was my subject for a while too - but he said, and I quote, "I better not see these pictures on a blog". lol
So here is my studio lighting with Toby. No other lights were on in the livingroom except the TV. There is a sync cord which goes from my camera to the softbox (which holds the flash bulb - I'll take a set-up pic later on so you can see how huge this is). When I push my shutter button on the camera the flash fires and that is my light for the picture.
I am SO excited! I love this! I have 2 sessions this weekend, but 1 is strictly outdoors in a botanical garden. The other I can use my studio lights with. Yipee!!! What do you think about the picture?
