i would mount a speedlight at the back 45 degrees on the left and turn on the light trigger, then I would put another light 45 degree on the right top of the subject and also turn on the light trigger... both set to 1/4 of the power and shoot with my PnS...
get what I mean ?
depends on the background and your angle of shooting. If in doubt, do burst shots at different angles....out of them there ought to be a few good ones. Thats what i did with an old Sony and more or less out of of all of them, high chance i got one that i wanted.When using a PnS, how do you ensure that your flash doesn't make the subjects your photos look flat?
alright so what i can grasp is that i either use a 1) diffuser or 2) bounce card so that the flash won't be so harsh on my subjects.
hmmm that's an alternative too Flashbulb but with all due respect im looking at improving my techniques rather than depending on luck.
