If my flash isn't on my camera, what is it attached to?

It's on the back burner for right now. Just send me a message if you have any questions and I'll be happy to answer them. Keep in mind many of the light modifiers I suggest won't apply to continuous lighting (hot lights require fabrics that can withstand much more heat than those designed to work with strobes).

That's cool. I am interested in the strobist side of things for myself. I just got the impulse to do research because my boss wants a proposal and a potential price range.
