Off camera flash with a compact

[Desmond]

I set myself a goal to see how much I can do with the least fancy camera . I dug out my 6 meg compact , an optical flash trigger and an old SB24 ...









In all I think it was a good exercise :smile:

No reason it won't work with the slave, what setting's did you have in the off camera flash?

It was set at 1/16th power so it could fire twice in rapid succession - once with the pre-flash and once with the main flash .

The biggest challenge with this compact is getting it to focus properly since there is no manual control for the focus . I have to let it auto focus with the led , set the 10 second self timer and drop the glass when it fires .....

I'm not too sure if that is a question or a statement but it is always good to use "off camera flash" in any situation and my purpose was to show what can be done with any equipment regardless of the time of day .
