[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 671309, member: 43545"] Hi Shakers718 I was referring to the rear of the room so light would reflect off the corner created by the wall and ceiling junction, which reflects off each other and and it becomes very defused, adding in the side walls bounces as the light moves towards subject, reducing shadows and since the path is longer, the light falling on the subject is less but it is also much less in change in intensity for subjects on second rows or not aligned along the same focus plane. That is due to the inverse square law that says the falloff will be less per unit of offset if the subject is further from the light source. In this case much of the light is coming from the rear ceiling. A light source closer means rear rows will have a low lower exposure level than the front row. The photographer in the way should cause no reduction in light level or should not create shadows due to the delusion of the light bouncing from multiple surfaces and coming from different angles. A point source, like the sun, will have very pronounced shadow but will also be a poor quality of light for portraits. [/QUOTE]
