Seems perfectly reasonable since he was all over their house, and the entire village, day and night. So, he examined the location before the shoot and took some meter readings. At this point he set up two small flashes for fill light. Perhaps a day later, Smith joined them during bath time. Supposedly he only took a few shots, because he felt he was intruding on something very private, but knew it when he had taken that one. I'm curious what format it was shot on. 35? 6x6? 6x7? Has anyone ever seen this picture as a real print? Feli _______________________________________________________ feli2@earthlink.net 2 + 2 = 4 www.elanphotos.com
