You’re not going to catch me doing this much mind, but since I bought the 580exii flash gun I’ve been dying to try and use it properly at a gig, see if it’s actually feasible to use flash or is it best to just stick to no flash and boost the iso up to compensate the low light, it was obviously nice to try it on a venue like the Windmill since their lights are shall we say, just a white light shining up them and producing harsh shadows that was pretty much like an nonstop ray of flash at them. Least with the flash I was shooting upwards so it would rebound the ceiling and produce a softish light over them and eliminating some of the shadow. But yeah, dunno if it worked? I’m quite loving the flash gun because for a venue like Windmill it does produce some gritty details to the venue which you hardly see when I’m shooting without flash.

But yeah, I’m experimenting, won’t be relying on flash about 95% of the time. Just one venues where I think would appreciate the light (which are very lacking I might add).

So yeah, opinions please, I’m new to the whole flash malark and have been pretty stubborn in thinking it’s an evil thing. But as I continue shooting I realise I’d like some shots where the iso is fairly low and I’m not stuck with annoying shades of red or blue.
