Chris:

Thanks.

You are absolutely right there. The people where I go don't understand how to light a model properly - they use a 75 watt bulb on an overhead boom and don't like it when the light is in What I think is a "proper position" - too intense for them. As I am but one of many and new to the class, I deal as best I can. Several times I have just packed up and left because the light on the model was just terrible. I am starting to get to know this group now and have started to push a little for a better light on the model.
