This is partly a matter of personal preference, but I think both lights should have been more diffuse. Try them with Lumiquest Omnibouce reflectors mounted. Or bounce on off the ceiling and the other into a reflector. You'll get much softer light and very subtle shadows. It also helps if you're in a smallish room with light colored walls. You have to look at your total lighting environment and evaluate it carefully. On Feb 10, 2007, at 8:52 PM, Mike Hamilton wrote:
