Hello Walter, If I am reading between the lines properly, you shot with the Vivitar for both shots, both using the Vivitar Auto exposure leaving the camera settings the same.
To shoot a vertical shot with the Vivitar you would then need a bracket for either lightsphere or Lumiquest, I take it. What was the approximate distance to subject? Any estimate on light loss due to the light modifier? -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, June 17, 2008, 5:40:25 PM, you wrote: WH> Paul's thread got me to thinking.
