Phillip;
Thanks for the info and experience. I remember an interior photo done by
Ansel Adams, I think it was an ornate bar. The way he lit it is described
in one of his "The ..." books, *or* his "Examples" book. He did it by
'painting with light'. IOW he walked around with a light of some sort, I
can't recall exactly what, and was able to achieve the lighting effect he
wanted.

way to go. I've

really works.
