Took a bit over 3 rolls of film this past holiday, almost all on flash
indoors. When in landscape orientation, bounce on the T32 worked admirably
well for soft lighting, but for closer images where the camera was in
portrait format, the flash cast a horrible drop shadow to the right of
subject. One of the advantages of flash/lens seperation is reduced chance
for redeye, which I had none of, but all that distance made for some
pictures that were just weird from the shadow.
Any ideas how to reduce this? It was apparent only when one person waist
up filled the frame (portrait orientation). If I backed off, the shadow
was not noticeable. Would it work to bounce the flash /down/ (that is, to
the right in port. form.), and have a card under it to reflect some light
to the left and forward? I rarely do flash photos, so can't really say
I have experience or knowledge of this stuff.
