[QUOTE="Robert Mitchell, post: 95199, member: 11282"] Ah, ok. Low wattage continuous lights are very limiting. You can do static portraiture but as you've already found out, it's not all that flexible. If you're going to use a Speedlight then you want to get it off camera, behind some diffusion material to diffuse the light and place it so that it acts like a large light source relative to the subject. Of course, if you like hard light then you don't necessarily need any diffusion and smaller light sources work well, but it is a hard light with a great deal of contrast, and that's not always desirable either.
