I tried another shot with most of the ambient light and fill flash, it worked very well this time. Will try to post some shots tomorrow.





Thanks again!

If you are on a budget and can't do the off camera stuff, I'd recommend a Gary Fong over the Sto-Fen. It is a much softer light. Not perfect but much softer. I've actually used the Gary Fong off camera as a fill light in real tight areas. It gives off a diffused bare bulb coverage where the Sto-Fen doesn't look that diffused.
