I noticed that these test shots have been taken in rooms with very light walls. Do these test conditions match the room to be used on the day. The reason I question is that I will never forget an experience I had when a friend asked me to photography her sisters baby. This was some 25 yrs ago and it did leave mental scares. The shoot was with 100 ASA BW film. I had my main bounce flash GN36 and a slave GN16. The dark ceiling, wall paper and drapes soaked up all the flash. Very little light coming through the windows. We put on all the room lights and fetched in the bedside table lamps aswell. But I knew I was still in trouble.

The negs come out very low contrast. After much pushing of the development of prints I got something half decent which she was happy with but to be honest the score was only 2 out of 10 and I wanted to try again.
