Hi Jan:
The flash used to take it was a Vivitar 283 at "blue" automatic setting (0.6m to 4.5m) attached to the Rollei grip via a flash bracket, 1/125 f8. Thank you very much for the compliment.

I also had wondered about using flash against a non-reflective background. I would suppose that the subject occupied enough of the sensor angle of coverage that it responded and didn't over-expose.
I have a set of lenses for my old faithful 283 but almost never use them. Of course all the newer flashes are variable focus units, however I don't know whether the light sensors have a fixed reception angle or not and any documentation I had for the unit is long gone, 5 house moves and one city move back.
Actually I have an extension cable for the sensor and also a remote trigger but never use them, because taking a picture becomes a whole production process. Maybe for studio use, but not for casual shooters like me.
