Thank you.

Thank you.

I only use ambient lighting at any venue I shoot in, no matter how dark, dingy, dungeon-esque. Part of being professional is not tailoring your environment to your needs, and capturing the action as it happened.

The art of the master craftsman, you mean? Agree totally, location lighting a copout? Although, if I am sent to do a job, if necessary I will compromise my ethics to get the pix. Guilty as charged.

The way I see it, I would have no need to compromise my ethics, because if I can see the action, I can capture it as it is. Plus, even when it might be more convenient to use a flash, there's no way the timing the can compare to available light. Either way, you can be sure that if there aren't lights to work under, there probably won't be any money to be made, either.

Great pictures, what setting where you shooting these pictures from your camera????

 

[SnapLocally]

Manual.

Cool, my kid does karate and every time I take pictures they don't come out as good. I am going have to try it in the Manual setting next. Thanks.

I suppose you could just opt for Auto if you were only taking a few quick shots and needed to use a flash. Most dojos aren't all that well lit.

That is an awesome picture!!!!!! I will be experimenting with all settings.
