Just because ....
so I tried the off camera flash with the Phottix remote trigger/receiver. It only works in manual. Flash was set at 1/8th power, the camera in manual mode, ISO 100, F7.1 and exposure at 1/50. For post, i made a duplicate layer and applied 25% Gaussian Blur on it, layer opacity at about 85%. On the mask, erased the parts i wanted unblurred. Sharpened a little bit. also applied levels adjustments on another duplicate layer. I prefer to have separate layers for different actions so i can turn off some and see the effect. I LOVE photoshop!
