Behind the camera. :) Still, complex and less-than-ideal, which is why I recommended ambient light mostly and perhaps a little flash for fill. I've seen all kinds of problems with flash for interior photography. See http://www.randoriginal.com He used on-camera flash (with no bounce or diffuser) for most of the shots. A wide angle lens (probably zoom) with plenty of barrel distortion. Almost never kept the camera level. It took hours of work in Photoshop to get the images looking as good as they do on the web page. You should have seen the originals... -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
