Hi all This photo of a flower (Grevillea lanigera, for the botanically minded) was taken with a dual flash set up on a home made bracket attached to the *istDS. This is the set up I've been using for a few years with the Super A but this is the first time I've used it on the *istDS.
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~sgap/photos/paw/g-lan-paw.html Mainly, I'm posting this because a few people have wondered whether old flash guns can be used safely with the *istD/DS. The set up comprises an AF280T on the left hand side of the camera (looking from behind) and above the subject with an AF200S on the right on about the same axis as the subject. The flashguns are attached to the hotshoe via a combination on 5P and 4P off-camera cables and adapters (although ordinary sync cables could be used because the cables only provide electrical connections - both flashes are fired on 'Manual'). Both flashes also have some translucent plastic in front of the flash heads to diffuse the light. The background is a bit dark but I don't really mind this as it makes the image a bit more three dimensional. Comments on the subject and/or technique welcome.
