If you're going to be outside experimenting with night photography,
flash may be far less effective (even otf). Effective flash working
distances fall way off. You'll end up experimenting with time exposre
or atleast painting with light (which is what I used to light the
oft-used PRR K4 locomotive 1361).

Shutter open on auto, fire flash multiple times from multi angles to
light the subject.
