[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 462456, member: 14443"] yes I think you [B]must [/B]use ocf flash as additional supplementary light. look at your images. most are underexposed. heavy flash falloff and no even lighting. thats what I would do. you will get light fall off if u dont and your ocf will get light all over to create a nice blanket thats uniform so when you shoot from different angles most will have even light. and thats what you want. I sense youre hesitant. because 1600/3200 isnt enough to capture enough ambient light from the 7 pic example you posted. one of them specifically, the last one actually, which is the best of them and most natural looking is what you want to get it to. if you would have shot that with flash at -1.3, it would have looked perfect. the flash kills the flat look. like catchlights in portraits. notice images of portraits with bad or little catchlights look off. same here. problem is in that last image, youre shooting at 1600 and at 1/60. thats shutter is fine for a static shot with no one moving but with the 70-200 you need 1/200 thats almost 2 stops. and them walking down the isle, you must shoot at 1/200. and I dont know how stable you are but even 1/ 60 isnt that fast to get extremely tack sharp images. the little added flash light will "fill" in what the camera/lens combo wont do. all the other images u posted are underexposed and look flat actually. the flash would blend with the camera exposure and give it a little zing. get the flash stands in one of the seat. not in the walk aisle. you can keep the flash stand lowish. no issue there. people will see the stand and just not sit there. wedding photographers do it all the time. they place some camera gear in one of the seats to save it for another photog to sit there and shoot unobtrusively people walking down the aisle. you have 4 rows of seats. more than enough seating.
