[QUOTE="kevy73, post: 553701, member: 23493"] Nice stuff Don... Good thing with caves is there is heaps of places to bounce flash. I just did a reception in a cave last weekend. My main setting used for the reception were ISO 1250 - 1600 depending on the shot F2.8 to F4.0 depending on the shot Shutter 1/100th Flash SB-900 on TTL FP BL with -1 on the dial. I never pointed the flash at the people - often it was aimed behind my head to bounce off the ceiling behind me.. if that was too far away then side bounce or even front bounce if required with the flash head angled 2 or 3 clicks, again depending on the ceiling, walls distance. First dance image.

I try and stay back for ceremonies so as not to get in the way of the guests... Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
