Off camera flash
Right. The flash gun has arrived and works well both on and off the camera. It is a manual gun, deliberately, as it will make me have to stop and think about exposure and composition. It has already made me think that without a wireless remote it is less useful than I hoped, so I've ordered (again from China) a wireless trigger.
One of the advantages of digital is that you can experiment more easily. I can set up a shot, take it, immediately check the results, work out how to improve it, and go again, whereas in the *good* old days I'd have to spend time in the darkroom or a 1 hour processing booth to get the picture.
Until the remote system arrives, if you want me I'll be sat here, taking endless portraits of myself with various reflectors, and copious notes
