Busted! Chewing on the new Christmas presents!
Well, She was set up. I have a local grocery store foil-lined reusable cold food bag that was just itching to have a strobe in it. I set the bag on it's side, stuck the strobe in it (near the opening) and set it to 1/16 power that's as low as it will go.
I like the effect, it's a little soft on the edge, but hard enough to define the subject crisply. This is probably too much for the average $100 point and shoot, but if you have a hot shoe (flash mount) you could pull it off with an external flash.
Here's a quick shot of the "Flash in a bag"
You can see I used the PC cable to fire the flash.Many thanks to David Hobby who helped me understand this concept.
