Soenke;
Yes, I think you have a point here. Just thinkng out loud: to banish
red-eye the photographer needs to cause the flash-to-eyes vector to be
non-parallel by some **reasonable** angle to the lens-to-eyes vector. ie
flash **some** distance away from lens. So if the subject is farther
away (and you're using a longer , eg 150mm) lens then the distance from
the flash to the lens need to be greater.
