Rim Lighting
Finally, I have now the impossible-to-find ( in Cebu, anyway ) Nikon SC-28 TTL Flash Cord. I quickly assembled a rough setup for rim lighting ( one of the many possibilities with off-camera flash photography ): A 3' x 3' illustration board ( black side is facing the camera ) was center-clipped to a large 4' x 4' translucent plastic ( that came with the uncut illustration board ). The plastic serves as a diffuser. The flash was then put behind the plastic/illustration board with a distance of about 2'. Subjects were positioned about 1' from the illustration board and here are some sample shots: SB-400 attached to D40 by SC-28 flash cord:
