Real close a few feet away and it could be way less in effect than a 16th power. With fast film at least. That and he could be shooting at f11 or f16. A coiled TLR cord can be a very powerful tool even if its not TTL. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: John Collier <jbcollier at shaw.ca> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:10:40 -0700 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] A Bruce Gilden moment > > I hope you all realize, he is not firing the flash at full power, probably > 1/16. > > It's not your style, it's not my style, so what?
