Top Cat - a photo on Flickriver

Top Cat

            Hi everyone, happy New Year and hope you all had a great Christmas.
Last year was pretty non existent photographically but now is a new year and one of my resolutions is to get my photography back on track.
Santa or as we all know the Mrs bought me a boom arm for my flash stands, Ive wanted one of these for ages so decided to test this bad boy out with a beauty dish and my Yongnuo 560III.
I have to say I will be getting more of these they are so much more convenient to place your flash in positions that wasn't possible before.
All I needed was a subject to help me and who better than our cat.
You know me I couldn't do a straight forward picture so played a trick on him, can you spot what it was lol.
sssshhhhh don't tell him I don't think he knows.
This was lit with a beauty dish with hineycomb grid and a Yongnuo 560III flashgun set to 1/4 power.
The flash was just above my head directly in front of the box and fired using my Yongnuo RF602 trigger.
