Re: Retra Flash + Retra LSD

I use YS-D1's, and especially shooting macro I generally fix my ISO at 64 and start at F16 with a 105mm lens.   My range on full power is maybe 2 feet from camera to subject, with strobe arms out a bit.  I usually shoot them at half power to avoid blowing out the reflective parts of Christmas Tree Worms or Sea Rods, then up the power for stuff I back up to frame.   I do a lot of pushing exposure in post rather than up the ISO in-camera, figuring ISO-less-ness.

There are certainly times I'd like more power than the YS-D1 offers.

Never shot with a snoot, but it looks interesting to try.
