Speedlite Bracket SB-E2

    I recently purchased a Speedlite Bracket SB-E2, The reason i bought this was to eliminate shadows when taking photos in the vertical (Portrait) position and it dose it perfectly, but when you take a photo in Landscape it throws a shadow to the right of you're photo because the flash is mounted to the left of you're camera which only;y makes sense. I read a lot of reviews about flash brackets and most of the complaints were they are big and awkward, so decided to go for the canon as it is very sturdy and compact compared to most other brands but not one review said that it would create a shadow in the landscape position, Dose anybody know a way around this because it is pretty expensive just for a bracket (also supplied off camera shoe cord)

    Thanks

    Wireless triggers and a flash stand?

    correct the exposure output on your flash to illuminate the subject - flash position (Bracket) should not matter if you have the correct exposure output from your flash.

    shutch the flash to manual instead of ETTL and experiment with 1/2power, 1/4, 1/16 etc etc until you get the right output for landscape/portrait shooting (remember that if someone is wearing all black they are more likely to need more light to expose properly - similarly with bright/white clothes - less light is needed to illuminate and expose correctly.
