You can shoot it!" worked for you, certainly in colour! :-) I'm always surprised at the number of photographers who almost automatically see something, where the light appears low intensity, and instead of shooting it as one sees it. They immediately turn on a flash and completely destroy the visual excitement of the scene. Obviously if in doubt one shoots the scene without flash and with flash. It's simply called covering yer ass! But as long as there isn't a great deal of motion and one shoots wide open at 1/15th and captures a nice photograph why blow what visually motivated you in the first look with a blast of flash? Well done, I'm glad it worked for you. A most appealing photo. And real looking without flash. :-) cheers, ted
