I should know this but have somehow forgotten the general rule of thumb on the proper intensity of the background. I will be using two 800 watt AB's on my subject ( one for fill and one for main ); I have two 400 watt AB's that will be available for lighting the white paper background. I plan on using a 2:1 ratio on my subject and am wondering what your suggestions are for the exposure of the bkg. I hope this makes sense and thanks in advance for your help. Denny -- D. Zimmerman
