Such a stupid (very stupid) newbie am I!!!!! Lower shutters... I shot in P mode... Tried some shots in my room now (even completely dark)... Didn't suppose that the flash unit will compensate as much as it can my Manual setting!!! I thought that in Manual mode I had to set in some way the Speedlite in manual... Nooooo.. It Just tries its best...
All shots where taken at 1/60 max aperture (from 4.0 to 5.6)... Next time I will try a range from 1/8 - 1/15 for semi still shots (the ceremony will not be a rush I Think!!! :D) and for the moving shots a range from 1/20 - 1/50... I've already ordered the Stofen... But even the Lightsphere is interesting... Not so expensive, I'll take a look.. THANKS YOU ALL! P.S. That stupid guy in the photos is my best friend and he is also the groom :D :D Don't be afraid to use 1/8 - 1/15 sec @ 5.6 (just as long as its not an action shot *doh*) but your flash would freeze any small movements. David Marco, I looked at them all and this is a dark place. Not much you can do. The windows and doors when open are fooling the camera metering one reason it is so dark. In another post, David gave you some good advice about using a lower shutter speed for subjects that are not moving. This will help get more ambient light in the image. You did not mention what the ISO was. I would use 800 where possible. Have you tried using your 50mm F1.8 for some shots? The faster lens may help and the place is large enough where you may get away with it. Where these all made using Program mode? If not what did you use? It may easier to simply use manual. Set the aperture to the widest open and use a shutter speed of 1/30. Slower for stationary subjects. I think this will help. You can try an omnibounce but diffusing light will soften it and you will lose about 1+ stops of flash output.
