My Bar's Halloween Party
First off many thanks to both Scott_Quier and BenA2, for your tips on how to effectively use on camera flash in less then ideal lighting conditions.
Unfortunately, when i first started shooting I found out the ambient light in the bar was worse then i expected, and even at IS0 1600 with my camera in manual mode, I was dealing with shutter speeds of 1/6, 1/15, and below, which were not sufficient to capture sharp pictures.
After thinking about it for a while, i decided that it was more important to have a clearly lit and sharp subject, then a perfectly exposed background, at least for the purposes indicated of this shoot. With much resignation, I put it in green box mode, shooting at 1/60 and ISO 400. Here are some of the highlights. :cry
