Yes, exactly: set camera flash as Controller.
Thanks. The terminology is a little confusing to the uninitiated -- and
that'd be me.
Don't dismiss that cheap stand. Set to wireless and placed on top of a
bookcase firing at the ceiling it can cover a large room. I did a
shoot in a recording studio with one of those on its 50-cent stand and
it worked great.
Hmm. Now that you mention it, I could get some good use out of it at
work, just setting it on a table behind the bar.
Flashes don't come with adapters because there are so many. The one
you'll likely need soonest is the swivel umbrella mount. BTW, tripods
don't make great light stands because the legs get in the way and they
aren't tall enough.
Yeah, I was eyeballing an umbrella stand a softbox at the camera shop yesterday, but
decided to hold off 'til I learn how to use the flash itself. I can always get one
later, and in the meantime, I figure I can jury-rig something with the shoot-through
screen in my 5-in-1 kit to get a reasonably similar effect. I figure at 42", I
ought to be able to get some pretty soft light, if not quite as effective as the
umbrella/softbox. As for the tripod not being that good a light stand, that makes
sense.
Thanks again!
