Hmm... I wouldn't bother with 35mm in that case, which almost always means manual flash... BTW, I hate shooting strobe pictures with 35mm. Especially if its a paying gig. Give me my "Polameter" any day!:-) > > While "automatic" or TTL flash merely light the subject so the photo can be > taken, the proper use of manual flash can and does "paint"** the subject, not > just "light" them. > **TTL and automatic flash blasts the subject, while strategically placed > manual flash wraps light ~around~ the subject. Just out of curiosity, why couldn't someone do that with TTL flash? Wireless flash systems are pretty common, and some of them will even allow "ratio" shooting as well. With high quality systems like Quantum's Qflash, one could set up a multi light TTL flash system using whatever ratio one could want. Between flash exposure compensation and placement you could have all the "wrapping" you could desire... Someone who knows their equipment will be able to get the shot, one way or the other...
