Dave, While you get a full illumination when shooting directly (i.e. parallel to the lens) you also get harsher shadows (although not as harsh as using in camera flash - a la Point and shoots).
The Lumiquest I use is the Pocket Bouncer. You don't get the diffuse light that you would from a soft box but at the same time, you don't get the harshness of direct flash. It's sort of the best of both worlds IMHO. Compensate though with distance or aperture if you're shooting from a distance because any bouncer/box will reduce the range of the flash. For $40 CDN, you should be able to try out the Lumiquest, or for a bit cheaper, the Omni-bounce. Cheers, Dave Original Message: ----------------- From: David Brooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] <snip> I'm starting to wonder how the Omni-bounce or the Lumiquest might help in my indoor horse work.I might have to try one of the systems to see if it will still supply ample light in an indoor arena,one fairly well lite,the other not so.Right now is shoot full tilt boogie at them. I just looked at both of the web sites and they both have possibilities. Anyone use them in the way i would?? </snip> -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
