Or maybe your studio is too small+Lights too close :^)
Or you could put some fiberglass screen material over the
light-ala softbox,...thats what I do for digital because my camera
only goes down to asa 200.

It would be simpler to use a ND filter.

Pretty hard to make one light less intense than the other-that way.
Never the less yes you could. But the fiberglass screen is really cheap
compared to a ND filter.

Put the filter on the lens, not the lights.

Never said you couldn't.

But put the lights too far away and I don't get the fall-off pattern that I
want, and/or it becomes a nuisance trying to keep light off the background.
No easy answers!

Well, I usually have them in softboxes, unless I'm travelling when I might
use brollies. But I agree, scrims on the lights are a better idea really
than NDs on the camera - I should do that more often, but old habits die
hard.
