Best equipment choice for indoor event in hotel ballroom?
I am shooting my first event – and I bought an external flash and flash bracket. When I took practice shots today, many came out blurry, and some were still dark. I have it on Av 5.6, tungsten WB, but this is a ballroom with 25′ ceilings. Should I use the flash bracket or not? I really don’t want to use a tripod if I can avoid it. This is a business luncheon, not a wedding. Thanks!
Try reading the Owner’s Manual that came with the flash. Try reading the Owner’s Manual that came with your camera. You have to know how to make them work together.
Did you buy a flash that is fully compatible with your camera? Or did you just go out and buy the first cheap flash you could find?
Blurry photos are either poor focusing or camera shake.
I’ve used a Vivitar 283 flash (bought new in Feb. 1976) with a Minolta SRT-202, X-700 and Autocord with excellent results. I also have the Minolta 360PX flash which is the most compatible flash made for the X-700. With the 360PX on an off-camera bracket I’ve used bounce flash off a 12′ high ceiling with perfect results.
Yes, use the flash bracket.
