Because, sadly, I don't photography well and never have. So when people take

could. I've only had about 3-4 good pictures taken of me during my lifetime.

No TTL that way. You must manually set flash output and probably

If you want off camera flash and TTL, you are going to need cords and

Whoever's brave enough to answer Dave's query, could you also drop some info
on how one would usually go about doing the settings for a remote slave

even better!

Hi Bruce,
Just using a random example, if you're metering using the camera and it
gives you say f5.6 at 1/100 with the popup of a subject say 2 metres away
(if that is enough information), and you want to use a remote slave
(non-TTL) say to the right of the subject from say 2 metres away as well,
Not really. You can get decent results from a dedicated film scanner
at around half the price of a *ist-D/D100/10D (or something quite close
to the price of a 300D), but the cheaper units are usually just flatbed
scanners with transparency adapters, which don't work as well.

You are basically correct if the popup flash is stronger than the
slave and ambient isn't too strong. The problem is, that the reason
to move the flash off camera is to make the main light not be direct.
In your proposed approach, the popup becomes the main and the

Could you please explain this further. I had actually planned on the slave
providing most of the light and the popup or hotshoe mounted flash providing
the minority of the light. I'm afraid I'm still a bit lost here. I have
