I shot old fashioned bare bones Vanilla Ektachrome with two Balcar Studio
strobes and a macro lens with the idea that it would come out cold and it sure did.
I just put the prints on the floor and had the lights out either side on 45
degree angles.
I also did some of the same images scanning them and outputting them slides and
those came out just as well, maybe better.
