[QUOTE="Zulumika, post: 5466, member: 350"] The situation: You walk inside a cathedral, the light is insufficient and you have to shoot the ceiling. The set: There are 20 other persons with you who have a camera and want to shoot that same ceiling in that same cathedral. The problem: All of you have a point and shoot camera with a tiny flash and a super noisy Hi-ISO, no one has a tripod and, for the purpose of this exercise, long exposures is not an option. What to do? I would say, go to the gift shop (there's usually one close to the entrance) and buy a post card. OR Do a group shoot! Ok this is a (mega-super-extra) long shot but I think maybe it could work. Ask everyone to point their camera to the ceiling and to shoot at GO; exactly at GO. 1-2-3-GO. Sync everyone so that they shoot at the exact same time. I realize that it's impossible to get everyone to shoot at the exact same time, but I figure that with 20 persons trying to shoot at the same time, chances are that there could be 3 or 4 shot/flashes that could be close enough and benefit from the other flashes, from other cameras therefore giving just about enough light do pull the shoot with the right exposure... What do you think - could that be done - as anyone every tried such a shot? [/QUOTE]
