 Re: Dark room dancing | |
50mp cameras aren't the greatest at high ISO either. We shoot with the R6 and an on camera Profoto A1. You can shoot a few frames in TTL to get a base setting then just play with those to create the ambient that works. Shutter speed controls ambient light. Turn off your flash, take a photo and adjust the ambient to what you like. (We usually underexpose at least 3 stops). Turn on the flash, but leave the camera controls in your previous ambient settings that you like. Adjust the flash's output (manual) and get the look you want. The camera settings (ambient) don't change, only the light on your subject does. You want to create a mood as most receptions have lots of color and (sometimes), the dreaded laser light show that all but obliterates any useful features of guests emotions. If you're going to be doing more indoor, dark receptions or events, I'd use an on camera flash with modifiers. We use a 10 degree grid sometimes to isolate the couple during a dance. Receptions tend to drag on relentlessly, so a good time to play with settings. Of course, after all the first dances.
