Kevin - so glad you brought that up -- I mentioned it almost
a year ago when I first got on the list - no one seemed to
know about it. I was basically asking for exactly
what you explained - how to establish the angles. I was
thinking of using floods instead of flashes, tho for the two
auxiliary lights.
My idea was to "cross Nichols" looking through the camera at
the polarizer on the light source(s) rotating the polarizer
on the camera only 'til it turned black.
I have an awful feeling those polarized sheets are expensive
as all get out though.
