So it's freezing outside, i'm indoors with a terrible cold, and my other half is at work for the morning, so I figured I'd take a few warm indoor shots.

I had seen a similar image concept to this elsewhere on the forum (sorry, can't remember who) and thought I'd give it a shot.

Gear was the istDS and the sigma lens, along with a Sigma EF530dgst flash bounced off the ceiling above my head, a desk lamp provided some lighting from the side.

Anyway, it's the first time that I've actually been happy with the results from the flash, and got consistent results. I read something about TTL flashes not working in aperture priority?
anyway, pics are below, feel free to comment on improvements etc.

The first is my favourite so far, I cropped it for use elsewhere, but found that I preferred it to the others.

Love the b&w conversion!

I love the BW version too!

The composition looks nice, the only thing that is a little distracting me is that KODAK film box. I feel like it is competing with the MX for my attention. Other than that, maybe I would try to give some more clarity to the photo to show all those beautiful details of the MX's.

But in conclusion, I like it
