the tomshen's -2EV is very useful for *just* lighting the shadows... and eyelights.

you mean setting the exposure compensation to -2EV and use onboard flash? hmm... okie. will try again when I see this cat... it always hang around in the canteen!

Thanks for the advice!

i think they mean use normal ambient exposure, and flash setting at -2EV?

found the "missing" eye disconcerting as well. otherwise, i feel this is a decent series inspite of conventional rules regarding background - you are not going to be able to pose most cats!
