Christine,
Thats super. All you need to have a play today is something to take a picture of. Not too shiney. Even a dull coin will do.
The biggest problem you have probably found is focusing as you can only really do that by moving the camera closer to the subject, and fine focus is hard to get. ( hence my comment on a fine focus rail ).
We can do it another way as an indoor job.
Set yourself up to take the picture with the subject on top of something you can easily slide on a table top.
Set your remote flash at an angle to the subject about 18 inches away. A second tripod helps but you may be able to tape it to something. Lay a piece of kitchen towel or other white tissue over the flash to diffuse it.
Set up and take a picture starting at f8. If a lot too bright try f16. If still too bright move the flash to 2 feet and go again. - Trial and error job here.
When you are happy with the exposure hold a piece of normal white printer paper on the other side of the subject to the flash angling it to bounce light back in and take your picture.
Two pics attached. ......... HAVE FUN
Don
