hehehe... the magic of plastic :mrgreen:

simple recipe for bringing your flash off camera

take a flash and mix in one trigger to taste: ir, radio, extra~long sync cable...

prepare 1 gorillapod with slimline attachment for flash and
top off with the flash-trigger mixture

you may garnish with a flash diffuser if desired

serve on roof tops, banisters, chair backs, branches, signposts, etc...

OMG!!! oo nga nohhh..
ano ang flash and IR trigger na gamit mo sir! Amazing outdoor studio in a instant!!!

I used a radio trigger and not an ir. the flash is an old
vivitar auto/bounce 40D I've had since the 80's

here's the results of the rooftop setup...



it added a nice pop too something shot on gloomy cloudy day

and here's from the bench setup bounced off a wall...

it's okay. light could be a bit softer but that also depends
on what look you're trying to get.

can we see a shot of your setup?

I think I see three light sources.

here's the set-up...
3-Ordinary Lamp Shade with 5watts daylight bulb...Put parchment paper (for baking...hehe) on the bulb to soften the light...

More pix...

ah... ok... putting a diffuser on the bulb itself will soften the light a bit
but not much. so shadows are still a bit contrasty.

softer light usually comes from bigger sources of light. so try covering
the top of your box with parchment... and the sides as well and see
what happens

and experiment with placing the lights at different distances away from
the parchment... like up close and a foot away.
