Hey gang,
It's been too long since I was here but I have a question.
I shoot 80% of my jobs as a concert photographer. As a rule it's a no flash thing but on these kinds of events, I don't need one usually. BUT I had a request recently from the venue to shoot a line dancing exhibition on the main floor of the coliseum during a set change.
Even though I kinda suck at these duel lighting shots, I understand the 'sunset portrait' theory; expose for the sky, stop the flash down and shoot the subject. The problem inside is the opposite. it's usually dark (even though lights are on) and when I use a flash it hits the subject well but it ONLY lights the subject and everything else goes dark (typical flash from the back row thing).
How do I get around this without a big ole, multiple flash setup?
David!
