  Your 950 has a flash on it you can use it to trigger slave flashes. Not knowing the 950 but I assume your unit multi flashes to help with red eye? Yes? There slave flashes by quantaray that have selectable triggering... counts and flashes on the main flash... the stright no count unit is only 19.95 and for short distances works well. Bouncing in the light to fill shadows there are all kinds and sizes of reflectors and holders available this is something you need to look at to soffen the effects of flash. Here is a tip for you in order to eliminate the direct flash of your camera affecting the picture. Get the processed end of a roll of 35mm SLIDE film should look BLACK! but slide film is transparent to infrared to dissapate the heat of that hot projector bulb. use some tape to put a piece over the flash tube on your camera and now its an infrared trigger for your slave flashes neat huh?
