I once asked Roger Perry what his criteria for a good flash were. He said it should be able to light the side of Pendle Hill.... :biggrin2:

Mine has a guide number of 58 so I'd struggle with anything over 20ft away.

I've linked this article here because it involves fake photography. In particular see the final image - a man with three arms!... :laugh5:

The fakes are so good there is only one defence for your average voter. Ignore all photographs included in campaign reporting or literature. With my bad eyes, in the right (or wrong!) conditions I could even be fooled by the three armed man.
(I sometimes wonder if the human race has evolved too far and is too clever for its own good!)

I didn't know about the gorilla experiment and those fakes are still good enough to fool me (apart from the historical ones..... :good: ) How do I know that Guido is telling the truth?
