Tim,
If you went the Joe Demb route, try tilting the bounce part up higher. You may still need to fiddle with flash power - I've found myself going to 1/16 or even 1/32 power even with the Demb unit on top of my 550. You're doing full manual on exposure - now you need to do it with flash.
Flash is a toughie, and obviously you don't get a second chance on these guys. You have to have the skillset in the bag before you get there, if you follow my drift, which means filling up a whole set of Saturday afternoons when you could be out taking REAL photographs with taking flash shots of a playing card (or something equally boring).
IMO, the new generation of high-ISO cameras has significantly reduced resident flash skillset among photographers. To me it's always regrettable when a skillset starts to disappear.

Indeed David, they aren't as easy as it looks. You may be right about 4, I'll mess with it some. Yes there is flash being used in all of them. I was trying to bounce it but the space wasn't conducive to that. I really do need to get a diffuser for such work.
Thank you for the thoughtful comment David
Tim
