So I was at another show tonight taking some pix for a buddy and there was a man there, alone, shooting also. I didn't know him and the show was kind of a "unique" event where most people who came were from the same town or friends with people who were. Anyway, as my buddy's set begins and I start snapping away, I notice this guy is using his flash (not even just the little one on his Rebel XT or whatever he was shooting with but a 430ex speedlight) straight on and taking lots of pictures.
What is the etiquette on this? I was always under the impression that you don't use your flash at a live show and you try your best to shoot for like 10-20 min and then give it a rest so everyone can enjoy the set. I was gonna go up to the guy and suggest if he can't get a good shot without his flash maybe he should go relearn how to use a camera... besides he was shooting so much it messed with 1/2 my shots cuz his flash would go off right as I was shooting at the same time.
Thoughts please....
