You could try getting one of those fabric reflectors that velcro onto the flash and wrap it around three sides, point the flash straight up, most of the light will bounce, but you'll get a bunch of fill going straight forward. Or, you could put your light on a monopod and hold it up and away from the camera. I'd probably make one of my water jug diffusers, but put foil on three sides so that it would be like a directed fongdong. > > My wife thinks that there was a better view on that couple > at that moment from a different angle, - as she saw it live, - so, > she is less impressed with this shot. > (Larry, - see, - here is an advantage of not being at the Fest! - > You can enjoy this shot more! ;-) ) Dancing with your wife is more fun than looking at your photos. > > > The thing I mentioned that I consider changing is the tilt. > I am thinking if I should rotate it just slightly (CCW). > This would make the female dancer mostly vertical, and would accent > the back-bending of the guy.

Even with cropping you'll still see that there's an audience, and the dancers are a lot more important. > -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
