Well, since I got the wireless mode to work, I returned to my original 
mission: Using the 560 flash high atop the stroboframe with an 
Omnibouce 80/20 reflector. (That's a reflector with holes in it that 
directs 80% of the light off the reflector and 20% off atypical 8 foot 
ceiling. ) I used it with and without the on-camera flash. The first 
pic here is with the on-camera (you can see the double catch lights). 
The second is without the on-camera. With the on-camera, you 
essentially have three light sources. I can alter the intensity of the 
560 by changing teh zoom setting, the angle of the flash head and the 
height of the stroboframe bracket. (It's the dead-serious one -- I 
think they call it 2500 pro -- with height adjustment and camera flip.) 
I have to experiment. But I think this might be a nice setup for 
on-camera work, such as weddings and events. By the way, Grace was 
pretending that she was making an omelet. When I make one for her I use 
a hand mixer in a beaker. She had some orange juice in a thermos. She 
made a mess, and I got scolded:-)). This was a nice conclusion to what 
has been a weekend from hell with rampant flu throughout the house and 
even an ambulance trip to the hospital for 91-year-old mom (who is a 
back home and okay now). But that's another story. Here's Gracie!
