That's nice, Larry. I like shooting with the flash off camera via a cable,
though I agree about the necessary practice. You used the technique to good
effect here, I'd say. Cheers, Christine

I was experimenting with the flash at a friend's gig tonight, mostly with a
snoot, but with the flash off camera on a cable. The technique has
definite promise, but it takes so much attention to aim the flash with one
hand, while doing everything on the camera with the other, that it'll take
a lot of work before I've got it solid.
I think that what the technique really needs is a snooted flash aimed by
an assistant, several feet off camera, with an on camera flash a couple
stops underexposed, acting as an on axis fill.
This shot, however, was done by bouncing my flash off a mirror, a few feet
to the left of the stage. Since Gypsyjack was on the left end of the
stage, I was able to side light him with the flash like this.
