I have said repeatedly, buy the fastest lens possible if you are going to shoot in low light. Us film guys do not have a magic ASA dial to change the effective shutter speed when the light gets too low. Next, as Ted has said, practice with long exposures. Never know when you will need to use those skills..... "accidental" elbow would have been too high... more like an accidental knee! As I said, I knew the photographer. He was most respectful. With him on 1 side with a tripod and flash, the other guy ( his assistant) on the other side with tripod and flash, it was pretty crowded..... And I looked just like a Catholic..... both knees firmly planted on the floor. One funny aside... Remember that a flash operates in like a 1/10,000 of a second or faster. My shutter speed was 1/8 of a second. One frame was illuminated by the flash from the Pro I knew..... Kinda funny, because I knew of the possibility, and at the time, realized what had happened.... Of course, that frame was a bit overexposed. ( F1.4 compared to probably F8 ?). Yup, way too stressful. More power to youse that do this or did this every weekend! Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net That's what I miss about not using RF's at weddings, hard as hell to hold a SLR at 1/8th sec. Whenever a wedding guest tells me to "step in front of me as needed", it sometimes results in a "accidental" elbow bump. Or a harder hit if they are using a Canon. :) Chris
