Response to Help with flash setup mechanics

Some really great tips. I appreciate the input and suggestions. Tom, I also appreciate your input and agree that I need to do a lot of learning regarding lighting setups, posing, and backgrounds and have bought or borrowed books relating to those aspects of portraiture but what is often assumed in those books is that you know how to attach a reflector to a tripod (just as an example). Jims tip on how to better utilize a paper roll for reuse is another great example. I suppose that after ripping several sheets of background paper I would learn as Jim has that there is a better way  Those kinds of tips are what I am after. Because I dont yet have all of my materials together, Im not in a position to experiment but even if I did, not having to reinvent the wheel with implied knowledge is useful. With that said, I agree that I dont know that there is not a book out there with that kind of input. I guess its off to the library I go :-)
