I always had either the Rolleiflex or the Nikon with 28mm and 85mm lenses. To get natural perspectives for flash shots, I worked at about three-four set distances for groups, tables shots, and couples- triples-quadruples. The old Mecablitz potato masher had good power so I put a nice big diffuser on it ... a homemade version of the Lightsphere, in hindsight. Figuring correct exposure was simply setting 1/30-1/60 second and then the correct aperture for the distance and power setting. I didn't use flash that often, only when the guy who booked the weddings asked me to do some of the standard pose shots. Normally he did those and I did available light candids in B&W. It was a good business, did it for about two years. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
