I am always intimidated by shadows, but that soft shadow is really just perfect. I am afraid of them, but when I see other people shoot them I'm always wowed! As far as the gymnasium shot goes, you're right - there's not really much you can do. The best thing to try is to push up the ISO as high as you can and slow down shutter speed, then wait until the kids are as still as possible, and use a tripod. I took some photos in a low-lit auditorium that only turned out because the stage was well-lit. That's the problem - if the subject isn't well lit, you aren't going to have good photos no matter what. And the flash is really only good up to 15 feet - beyond that it doesn't make a difference.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039056206420438194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148069244490960291.post-45002058013281349082010-12-16T05:23:34.597-06:002010-12-16T05:23:34.597-06:00Thanks for the recommendation!
