Off Camera Flash

Sometimes a situation will require the use of a third light source to light an area to eliminate deep shadows. I use a auxiliary flash mounted on various tripods. Shown here is a Targus articulated tripod purchased at Wal-Mart. This tripod can't support a very heavy load, but its legs can be molded, allowing it to adapt to various locations. In addition, the head on the flash can be rotated in both axes, and its output can be varied, making it quite versatile. This flash is set up as a slave, meaning it will fire when another flash fires.
