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.
