..., it's not bright enough in some of these. I was using the silver side of an umbrella and reflecting the light from behind at an angle with the light at about 1/8th power. I don't know if the reflector is the way to go, but I did another test shoot without it and the light was too bright at 1/8th and spilling too much onto the backdrop. I'll have to keep experimenting. I do love how the key light ...

...top dog. Or wolf, I guess you could say.] [The Great God Roxas currently just managed to shut the door he came from, gasping for ragged breath. To one who knows what he looks like regularly, his reflector, rosaries and glaive is gone, as well as the brush (and ink pots) he usually has with him.
