I was just trying this a couple of days ago! My conclusion was that I needed a nice black sheet to hang in the background, because the damn flash lit up the whole room, despite my best efforts to prevent it. I used incense sticks, too -- seems like the most practical solution. Nice. I was just trying this a couple of days ago!
