    I hear from others how hard this actually is, so I think for a first result, this is really good! Posted 12 years ago

    Thanks Ferdy! I'll be purchasing a Canon Speedlite 430EX II soon and combining it with my softbox that attaches to it, so that might enable me to have a much lower ISO in future shots. Posted 12 years ago
