Byll in my view is right on regarding his microphone assessment. My only humble postscript is that if you're looking for a reasonably priced well regarded condenser mic, you may want to consider the Rode NT-1.

If you're looking for one to start with, I think this is the one. You may have to wait a few weeks to get it but hey, I think its worth...

Thanks Brian for the input.
I did get an e-mail from Mack today and I sense that he possesses some genuine inner peace and faith and your note reaffirms that notion. What a wonderful guy. Thanks again for sharing.

Loren, I don't know what you're using for a camera. Assuming it's a 35mm, my suggestion is to take a sky blue cloth, place it on a table outside during a sunny day a couple of hours before or after the time the sun is overhead (so you have it say at 10 or 2 in the sky), supplement the backshadow are...
