I wonder if that was a deliberate ploy to keep other people from getting copies of the group photos (that being the main place studio lighting shows up at weddings that I've seen)? Probably come out very seriously overexposed for everybody else! Of course these days, bringing the discussion full circle, the pre-flashes would probably have triggered the studio strobes, thus preventing them from washing out the actual photo that followed. :-) -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
