The first thing to do with this kind of subject is to see if you really need a flash. Set your camera to ISO 800 or ISO1600 and spot-meter on a face. If you can get a reasonable meter reading (say > 1/30) you're set. Use that film, get and use a monopod, and you'll get some good shots with natural light. You'll see the throwee blurred and the thrower steady - looks great if you the one throwing! dave -- dave o'brien - http://www.diaspoir.net Q: Heard about the <ethnic> who couldn't spell?
