Nahh. I typically don't do a whole lot of diffent setups, and I usually keep the lighting fairly constant for that series until we move to a different location. I get the light dialed-in in the beginning and keep shooting with it fixed while making only minor adjustments along the way. As far as remembering the power of the flashes--it's 90% memory, and 10% analysis. Most of the time I remember what the power was, however, if I changedthe powerat some point through the series I'll compare it with the other pics to determine the exact flash output used on that particular shot.


If I rememember to, I'll take a setup shot. Setup shots are important because a flash at 1/4 power shot through a modifier will look completely different depending on the distance from your subject. But, alas, most of the time I forget.
