Used an old Quantaray 9500, at 1/16 triggered manually (test), while hand holding above and to the right of the subject, giving a nice side lit look to the scene... Hand held shot with S95 @ 1/5 sec, aperture was set at f/4.5 to keep flash from blowing everything out.
Fairly happy with the results, we'll see what the voters think of my experiment with off camera flash using a P&S cam and a POS flash. :)
Honestly, I think I need a flash that can be used as a slave, because manually triggering them is a bit of a trick.

Grats on the great finish, Cory. You need to go back and give this little guy something for his time and trouble to pose for you;-);-) You did a bang up job with the lighting and focus - the textures/details on the snail and the leave are fabulous. The red, blue and green colors are bold and rich in tone that they just pop off the page.
