I shot this in a fitness center. Relatively small room. There was a row of mirrors behind me. I shot with the flash on camera, pointing backwards over my shoulder and up at about a 45 degree angle, so that it centered approximately on the pint where the ceiling and mirrors met. I believe I had a diffuser on the flash, probably a softbox. I checked to make sure I wasn't creating a hot spot in the mirrors on the other side of the room before firing away. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5869395&size=lg
