You are convinced that the fishes you loose are the biggest. You know this isn't correct, but you can't stop thinking about it. Perhaps I'm a compulsive person :-)
Never the less, it bugs me. And I do want high speed sync. Sorry if it bugs you. I have shot glowing portraits the way you describe. My uncle taught me this technique 30 years ago. BTW, this uncle of mine loved red elements in his colour shots. He made us wear red clothes (anoraks) in the middle of the summer, in case he needed a red sweet spot in one of his frames :-) He was not a mad tyrant, he was just a very dedicated (slightly compulsive) photographer, who did some wonderful shoots.

BTW, back in the 70s, we used to turn our brides back to the sun to get a nice glow around the veil and shoot at f/5.6 @ 1/60 with fill flash. It worked very well. Of course, this is out of the question with digital, which is kind of persnickety about exposure. William Robb
