[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 268631, member: 14443"] the 2nd one really is unique. gives the energy of the situation. nice pics. were proud of you! yep, the place was dark like I thought. 2 flashes with slaves and gelled lightly, would bring you images like the 2nd pic and you could have used a faster shutter speed all night. you would have much lit and those in the back would also have some lighting, adding to the depth. I highly recommend it for next weddings. did you do some shots with the 85 at f2/2.8 with no flash and high iso for isolation shots? just buy cheap manual flashes (yongnuo 560II $75 shipped, or even 565 with battery packs $145 total shipped), put them on the outside area of the dance floor and either bounce it off the ceiling (do I see glass roof there?) or lift the stands up high and aim it downwards 30º into the dance floor. gives the images a different feel altogether. direct flash and those off camera gelled flashed mixed in would give highlighted color and would give a great feel of dancing to the images. because the lighting changes every second, you cant rely on them for all your shots. thats when your off camera flashes come in.
