[QUOTE="kevy73, post: 287555, member: 23493"] Great photo's rocketman, but every single one of your spot lights are frozen. Now if they were fixed at the wedding, awesome, but if like 99.9999% of the weddings that I go to, these lights aren't stationary, making the scene a moving, alive, energy full reception, the only way to try and capture that is with a longer exposure... which you can only acheive by lowering your ISO and lowering your shutter speed. I also disagree that I am not driving it like a ferrari if I don't push the ISO up.... sorry, but that to me is a ludicrous statement. So rather than using sound skills and techniques, I should just max the ISO? I think more along the lines of I have a wonderfully built tool and it is up to me, the photographer to decide how best to use that tool. If I can achieve, what I, and my clients consider to be wonderful, clean images in low light without pushing my ISO up or without introducing new light sources to make my job easier - I ask which is the ferrari driver and which is the automatic prius driver? Whilst I think we will have to agree to disagree on who is right, wrong or indifferent, you will have to agree, 1/40 isn't too slow and you are able to get sharp, clean images. Whilst you can achieve the look you are going for, I can also achieve the look I am going for. [/QUOTE]
