Very clever Stephen. I was unsure about the base, hence gallery comment. The lack of double reflection, normal from glass over velvet puzzled me a bit. All answered now. So how does Sarah feel about taking the house to bits for the benefit of photography.
I agree with a touch less power on the second flash 1/8 - 1/16. Another trip to Sainsburys required, but perhaps we should wait on Ians verdict.
