I love the way that they do a hop, skip and dance as well, it's hilarious. At one stage, one of them was seriously thinking of flying into our loungeroom I suspect, it was eyeing it up big time.

I could try just lowering the flash output by dropping FEC...do you think that'd work ok?Dave You could try for a Flash Softbox, you can get them off ebay for a dime a dozen these days Canon EOS-1D :: Canon EOS 350D :: 2 x 2gig SD Ultra II CF :: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 (58mm) :: Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG/HSM (77mm):: Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 EX DG (82mm) :: Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO Macro (58mm) Lens :: Optex PT3900 Pro Tripod ::

I have made my own LordV diffuser for macro work, and it's on my 1D setup, but I'm too lazy to change lenses lol. Got teeting problems with it anyways, need to sort it out.
