    Default A REALLY red phal by flash obstruction...

    This is what you get when photographing a white phal and you put your big fat finger over the flash...

    Now that's funny. I'm gonna try it on some of my whites and see what happens. I wonder what you'd get with other colors. You may be on to something here Diane. heheheheheh

    That's cool! I may have to get a big white and see how many colors I can make it turn. Your red may just steal the show though!!
