How does one get a "spotlight effect" with a flash? Can anyone help with this one?

You could create a "snood" with a piece of cardboard or paper.

This site gives great ideas and explanations on how to get a little 'more' from your hot-shoe flash.
I've used their idea for the 6', 8' spotlight...works great.

Hope it helps.
Cheers Matthew

Or a snoot even.

I suppose you could use a grid too.
