[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 684596, member: 13090"] I assumed that was the case and that's why I only touched on the topic of fill-flash. Live performances, especially in what appeared to me to be a rather intimate setting, does not lend itself to using flash for a multitude of reasons. Sometimes we simply have to work with the available light and make it work as best we can; get creative with it. Admittedly, though, sometimes circumstances conspire against us and getting exactly what we want is simply not possible. If that's the case, we have to take a pass on the shot or accept less than optimal results.
