I'd start off making the flash exposure the same as the ambient. 1:1 ratio. Then, increase the flash. 2:1. 4:1. 8:1. (It's easier to do the math if you stick with full stops. :) I'd guess that either the one-stop or 2-stop difference would be about right. I would also bracket between 1/8 and 1/30th shutter speeds. That's already 12 different combinations. Take 6 shots of each, and there's two rolls. Probably something usable. :) - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
