Sep 26, 2007 07:26 | #11 I also discovered the pains of good lighting with my first attempt. I made several efforts to get my flash underneath the subject. I tried using a bowl lined with tin foil to bounce the light back but was unable to get the desired results. Definitely need to invest in a off-camera hot shoe and I think the 100mm f2.8. The 60mm just doesn't provide enough distance for some shots. Canon Rebel XTi, Kit 18-55mm, 430 EX, Lowepro Slingshot 100
