Sounds like a new expression:) I was kidding about the flash confusion. But I agree with you, the look is less then appealing with the very direct flash. That's why I was talking about moving the flash up high to at least have some down lighting. My flash is firing in TTL mode, but it's maxed. When I dialed in one stop down from wide open, I lost the lighting. Like I mentioned he's about 50 feet away. I started the evening in slow sync hoping to get some of the ambient lighting, but soon thereafter my shutter speed drooped below 1/30”. So in essence, this is a “Beaver in the Flash Light.” With Laslo and a second SB-800 maybe, maybe I can improve on this.
