Hi Charles
But it doesn't rhyme!
Happy New Year!

On 22 Dec 99, at 11:49, Charles Loeven spoke about
*longish/Musing over technique, was ..* saying
...
> In one way it _is_ a mindless path to perfect exposures.
> I use the T-32 with OM2 on a bracket.
> With iso 200 print film TTL works just fine.
> Ask the lab to print for the faces only.
> The background goes where ever it will.
>
> Slides or ambient / flash mix are another story.
> It takes a flash meter and more thinking to get what you want.
>
> Regular auto is another matter. The angle of acceptance
> will not be the angle of view and the background fools the sensor.
> Try tighter compositions in all cases. Short of a flash meter
> it works the best for me.
>
> Manual flash is not always the answer here either.
> If you calculate the exposure you then need to:
> 1-change the f stop
> or
> 2-move closer or farther away.
>
> Selected f stops can be very important in flash work with people.
> recycle time and depth of field formost.
> Composition and the lens attached usually negate moving.
> Also, manual means a full discharge every exposure.
> 10 seconds recharge as opposed to almost instant.
>
> In conclusion (oh finally)
> I never use compensation for print film.
> I always use a flash meter for static subjects,
> including posed portraits and multi light exposures.
> I rarely if ever have used flash for trannies, just no need.
> Prints are what I am after with people shots.
>
> Now, between the holidays and the millenium / y2k thing
> we should have ample reason to burn lots of film.
> Have fun everyone. And Merry Christmas Ho, Ho, Ho....
>
> CL
And a happy New Year to you and yours.
