| I just dropped a decent chunk on a flash, and now I feel guilty for not having it with me during the day when I walk around and stuff. It's sorta huge, making my and my camera much more "hey-look-at-me"-ist, but I want to use it more. How often do you guys have your flash on you, and do you keep it on the mount or do you carry it in a bag or something? Just wondering if I'm alone in my fear of carrying a hu-normous flash. |

mine is constantly in my bag, and my bag is constantly on my back. Never know when you will need it

| I also carry all my gear in a pack that is with me all the time. If you really want the "hey-look-at-me" look add a lightsphere too! But be prepared for stupid comments like "that looks like it should store salad". |

My flash is always in my bag with fully charged NiMH batts and spare Alkelines. Also, now my Lightsphere is traveling with me :-)

Yup, 24/7, with extra batteries and a gary fong diffuser. They're always in the bag so anytime I need them.... there they are! I use flash LOTS outdoors in daylight.

| I have a Jansport from 2nd grade that I use once in a while, and I really need a backpack, but they are too expensive for me :-(. If I had a backpack I suppose I would keep my flash in it. However, I carry my camera pretty much all the time, usually with a spare lens hanging on my belt. Not sure if I could do the backpack thing all the time even if I had one. |

I usually carry my flash all the time as well. If you got a SB-600 or SB-800 be sure you learn the i-TTL (off camera) capabilities. That's good stuff. Good info here: kenrockwell.com

I actually have a Sigma EF-500 DG Super, which has all of the CLS, remote, and iTTL capabilities of the SB-800. I'm familiar with Rockwell, but thats for the strobist link. |

fairly often, but honestly only when needed. I think one we all get to a certain point, you know if you will need it that day. if it is helpful to the photograph, even daytime nature/landscapes, I will supplement the natural light.
