Strobist stuff

There's a huge trend now for the "strobist" style of photography, David (the owner of this site) has literally openend the flood gates and eyes of many people, including me.

I try to use my Bowens strobes in the studio because I have them, but in a small studio they truly are a bit overpowering, there are times when I would like to dial it all back and use the smaller flash units, I can't bring myself to part with the cash for a set of Pocket Wizards right now, so I continue to use the Bowens which seem happy enough with a synch cord!
Over Christmas I had some time off work and I shot the folllowing image using David's, Shoot Automatic, check the exposure and drop the exposure by minus 2 then dial the flash to taste.

I thought this worked quite well, kind of looks like a model especially with the surreal fluffly clouds behind.
I'd love to try something like this for a Fashion shoot, could be interesting.
