Wow, after getting all set up, I won't have any cash left to buy more
orchids to take pictures of!

Thanks for all the lighting tips!

Buy one of these
<http://cgi.ebay.com/Synchro-Hot-Shoe_W0QQitemZ7581971898QQcategoryZ3003
8QQcmdZViewItem<
and one of these
<http://cgi.ebay.com/15-ft-PC-male-to-PC-female-Straight-Sync-Cord-NEW_W
0QQitemZ7579051657QQcategoryZ30087QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem>

Attach the flash to a tripod head which will allow swiveling the flash 
around.  Figure out how to add some diffusion or reflection.

If you want to get fancier attach the hot shoe adapter to an umbrella 
adapter such as this which will also allow swiveling the flash around:

ryZ30091QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem>
CAUTION:  The one shown above appears to be missing the threaded brass 
stud required to attach the hot shoe adapter.  See:
<http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details
&Q=&sku=5156&is=REG&addedTroughType=search>

and mount the umbrella adapter on a light stand

Z7580043192QQcategoryZ30080QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem>
and optionally add a small PhotoFlex umbrella
<http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details
&Q=&sku=42501&is=REG&addedTroughType=search>
(I picked PhotoFlex becuase they're much better made than ebay stuff)

You'll produce a one-flash version of this which won't require the 
aluminum bracket.
