Thanks :D Thus far i'm very pleased with it, just need more test time with it to get the flash settings dialed in a bit more.

your diffuser seems to be working really good :)

I'm glad you shared #6, I don't mind that hard light at all, the shadow it creates its actually funny :)

the hover shot is great!

A fabulous set of pics -

Really cant understand why you say "And finally, an absolutely terrible shot of a hover," as its a really nice shot of it.

Thanks everyone, appreciate it :D

Linda: I only call it terrible due to the harsh lighting and it's also a tremendous crop, This little guy is going to be the main focus of my hunt this morning to see if i can find him again and get a better shot :)
