John & Brian-
Thanks for your input!
I had the 283 module set for the color that corresponded to the f stop I was
using on the camera, along with the bg2 and T-32. The 283 was over powering.
On Thanksgiving I had set the 283 for requiring a stop less than I was using
on the camera. In that case, the highlights were practically indescernable.
I guess I have some more testing to do.
As for bounce, I have used it before, but the light seems to leave shadows
under the chins and in the eye sockets. Perhaps I need to practice with
different angles. For candids, it seems fine, but for the posed variety, I
was looking for maximun clarity, with hair highlights.
As for the fireplace, it has a bright brass framing that is highly offensive
in the way of reflections. - A Thanksgiving day lesson... (we never use
this fireplace anyway.) So I put dark material over it to prevent that
problem. We mostly obsured it anyway, with 5 adults arrayed in front.
I wonder how the 283 for bounce, and the T32 for direct would work. I am not
sure how well the two automatic flash systems would play. Their independent
processes might be non productive. I guess I need to get mutliple T32s
going. If I cable the camera to the flash on the BG2, will it trigger
another flash if it's connected by a cable from the handle? At this time,
I'm not sure I see the need for more than 2 flashes, and could possibly
eliminate the need for the multiconnector. Would that work??
As always, Thanks Much!!
Mickey
