[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 264223, member: 14443"] When you have some time, see this [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RDi8osfg4uE[/url] ive been doing this for a while now but just saw the vid and realize a lot of what they said, I do in weddings. I think Fstoppers give the most logical and most helpful tips. its not just paka paka. its really valuable info. its a bit late for you im guessing because you didnt get salves from the various posts. if you plan on doing more, consider getting cheap yongnuo (560III) and some simple commlite G430 ($25 shipped) I did many weddings this summer in outdoor locations. secluded places like in forests in no where land. theres no lighting there. well, enough for proper exposure. moddy lighting but horrible for exposure. if I didnt use the slave/light stand/flash combo, you wouldnt even notice where the place was because there were very few lights and the exposure was not enough to make a difference in the picture. so I add lights. it looks amazing. I come with 2 light stands and I use 2 that I fire either bounced into the ceiling if I can and if not, then raise them as high as I can and aim towards the dance area. I usually try to find another place where I can use a multi grip to connect my flash somewhere and have a 3rd flash. it makes a huge difference. I dont shoot them TTL. Manual power. usually 1/32 power and it can run all night long on the dance floor. I also gel (rosco) one flash red and the other yellow for SOME of the pics. gives it a fantastic dance floor vid. it really looks stellar! consider this for any upcoming events. its what sets photogs work from others. the lighting is what does it. I also use a 3 flash setup for my formals. 2 flashing from an umbrella and one on a stand on the floor behind them for a bit of rim lighting. heres an example. shot at iso2500 f4.5 1/125 70-200.
