I have tried what you said, just to see if it works and it does, but I don't really shoot that way. I mostly do this to put the flash on a bracket.

If I am doing more controlled lighting, then I would use my Alien Bees (monolights) with umbrellas and stands. -- Bruce Saturday, March 10, 2007, 2:44:09 PM, you wrote: DJB> Bruce.
