- Now I have to top that one ... Once when I was walking through downtown
- Vail, CO late at night I saw a man taking a picture of his family posed
- in front of the downtown shops (tourist traps). He had the flash set on
- the camera to be a bounce flash. So having nothing better to do, I
- walked up to him and told him that he had better flip down the flash because
- there is nothing to bounce off of except black sky. Well he informed me
- that he was a "professional photographer" and that the bounce would give
- him better contrast. Then he proceeded to take the picture. Now just when
- do ya think that flash will ever bounce back this way ???

- See YA ...
