Look at that eye! Charcoal Ghost

Thanks Rich,
I have used one flash but I used a black back ground so you cant see the shadows.
Thanks again,
Jimmy C.

Here's a photo of my Fuji FinePix S1 Pro with the bracket and flashes mounted.

BTW, Jimmy, be careful using the black background. Cameras are designed to average out the frame for a proper exposure, so unless you are using spot metering or underexposing your shot, you can often wash out the subject. More of the flash will be reflected from the subject than from the background, so TTL metering sometimes gets confused by this.

If you have to figure this out manually, the general rule of thumb is to overexpose for a light background, and underexpose for a dark one.

Rich, you take this big thing to make all your pix???
also the hatchlings???

>This allows me to take closeups that would otherwise have the >lens itself blocking the flash from hitting the subject

that´s probably the most stressfull problem I have!!!
but I could find a flash that I like...some look like crap (I´m not willing to pay a few hundreds bugs for some toy looking plastik flash!!!) others using specuial batteries and so on....

Thanks Rich,
I will try and get some of my photos scanned so that I can post them.
