Mark,
Can't thank you enough for the tip/advice, which probably served as a great reminder to others who read my post and your response. As a beginner, I still have a lot to learn about mastering the light. And, I think your words have really sunk in.
First thing I am going to do is some research on lighting principles. Then, I will begin to experiment with my flash at different distances from the model and the background. Once I examine the results from my tests and have the basics down, then I should be in a better position to make an even more educated decision regarding precisely when and under what conditions I need to use additional equipment.
I feel like I should have known this already. But, sometimes I plough full speed ahead into things, and it requires a little wisdom to force me to take a step back and look at the big picture.
Thanks again,
Donnell
