If I go that length, I would rather use my '"real" flash. If I have a helper, I would certainly use a second flash tripped wirelessly. > All my recent "Zurich carneval" shots are made with a manual Ricoh and a > Metz on a grip in automatic mode at F5.6, camera at F8. > I was easy enough for me yet.... ;-) > http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/solicom/Fastnacht2007/index.html Yeah, I saw those. They are fabulous shots, Markus. Well exposed. Drum set shows some harsh shadow but you cannot avoid it with a clip on flash with no diffuser. I rarely use my "real" flash for direct frontal lighting without some kind of diffuser, or bouncing, usually omniBounce (again, easy to carry for a lazy man :-). Flash photography is an interesting subject. Ken -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
