Is it > true ? Likely, But you need to realize, the shadows are going to be there unless you move the light source so it's out of the angle of view. The main problem with just pointing a flash at a subject and letting 'er rip is that it's very harsh light. If you want smooth light with no shadows, get a soft box, or shoot through a piece of gauze, or bounce the light off a piece of white card or board, or some other speicalized light refletor. - -- Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA http://www.neteze.com/ewelch Zen master to hotdog vendor.
