This is an excellent instruction video on how to make off camera flash more like mottled sunlight using some foliage taped to a light stand (he calls the foliage a “dingle”).
He using a Canon DSLR, a 70-200mm lens, a camera mounted IR controller to fire the off camera flash which is mounted above him.
Many of us (me included) find flash and artificially lit photography intimidating. The more we see stuff like this the more we’ll jump in and get it a go.

that is pretty cool because that wall did not look all that great and the picture make it look a lot better. interesting
Edward: Right. It’s not a great technique (better to have a lot of space and blur behind her) but it’s a useful way to get mottled light out of the flash.
