Where's that coming from? - -------- Ted: The main light is coming from a window... it was very harsh, so I used the flash w/Sto-fen diffuser to soften it, without making it wash out entirely. The "light from the flashlight" is actually sunlight from the window reflected off it's lens. I know how you hate "twinkie lights", but this shot would have been impossible without one. Indoors, it was quite dark and the Alberta sun reflecting off the snow was just too intense. Personally, I thought the window light was what made the photo. It's reflection on the flashlight was a luck happenstance. :) Cheers! - ---------- David Young | The LHSA Spring Shoot - Victoria, B.C. Victoria, | April 23 thru 25th, 2004.
