p.1 #1 · Tips on R1C1

I'm going into the gardens today with my D300, 105mm VR and R1C1...

Can anyone provide me with any tips you may have learned while using this flash system? I haven't taken it into the field yet.

Thanks

Diffuse the light, Josh. I have a small piece of 1/2 white diffusion from the Bogen Manfrotto diffusion pack taped directly to the flash head and then a pair of Stofens. Works pretty well, but I'm experimenting with a pair of Gary Fong Puffers. Dalantech uses the Canon equivalent of the R1C1 system and gets astounding results. Check out some of his latest posts of honeybees. Amazing. It's a good system, you just need to tame the light.
