Hi Dick,
Mine was just the opposite at the wedding, as I'm so accustomed to shooting by
available light that when I put the flash on the M6 and bounced it off the
ceiling I thought I'd blown the place up with the light bouncing back down and
lighting the subjects.

I was so surprised it was, "Holy jumping that sure was a blast of light! "
However, it did make the results work and having looked at the film by now I have
to say it certainly was a time for, dare I say it?  I really needed a flash to
save my butt and I'm glad I had it with me! ;-)
