Hey Godfrey,

Someone more talented might be able to do this, but while I have tried this,
it just doesn't seem to work well. The diffuser I use is big and bulky, and
my flash is terrifyingly expensive, and since I'm usually taking these
photos in treacherous sphagnum bogs and or on false lake bottoms, I am
always just one step away from plunging into a watery grave. Holding more
than one thing in each hand is just asking for trouble.

Switch RS-60E3, instead.

Hmm. A buddy of mine has a Canon. Can I make his camera fire at unintended
moments? It would be great as a practical joke. :)
