      Glad you like it, this was at 3:1 I can get closer still. The dull evenings with their quick light drop off are proving a nightmare for lighting atm. One sec 1/16 is fine at 1:3 next im having to take it to 1/4 at 1:3. I am liking the new flash though. I am able to move the flash sources independently, allowing me to create an almost 3d subject on a 2d platform. Im getting more acquainted with it :) Posted 11 years ago
