If you used flash for illumination in the top picture, how did you get the exposure right for the person closest to the camera as well as the one farthest down the bar?

I went to half a dozen bars, introduced myself to the bar keeps. I told them what I wanted and that I'll be back to make the rounds for my shots when the game starts. I used a Rollei on a bracket with a Vivitrash 285, with dome attached set at 45 degrees. Walking in, I placed the set-up on the counter, so that everyone could see what was going on. It's almost the equivalent of taking out a glass eye and putting it in you glass effect wise. Even the most hardened bar denizen eventually will acquiesce to being photographed. http://www.laweekly.com/ink/02/12/a.shtml Slobodan Dimitrov - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
