Congrats on the anniversary. I just passed my 26th. The lighting looks quite good for a single flash - no obvious hot spots or bad shadows behind you.
The 31 limited is certainly not my idea of a portrait lens, though. The perspective is less than flattering for a head/shoulders shot like that. -- Bruce Friday, January 19, 2007, 9:33:56 PM, you wrote: BL> Hello.
