ok the chips are down for once more... my best friend's brother is getting married saturday, and instead of a gift i offered to take B&W shots of the ceremony there will be a pro shooting color, and videoing at the same time, but the existence of a very strong spot for the videocamera (maybe a single one) bothers me that calls strong directional light, and the use of a fill in flash. but...at iso 400 (hp5+) my flash has a GN of 22...at a distance of 4-6 yards i wonder if it will be enough to balance the spot (unknown wattage). thats is some uncertain situation also, i wonder what camera setting i should use a programed mode, the AV mode risking the occasional faster than shutter sync time shot,or should i take a general reading of the frame and work up and down from there? another concern of mine will be our flashes firing simultaneously. it happens believe me! how does that affect my exposure determining method ? i actually tend towards the AV mode...TV is out of question 'cos the camera does not co-operate with that lense (screw mount one) i will be needing as much shutter speed and tight aperture i will be able to get, since i will be using a 80-200 zoom, but at sync speed of 1/100 - 1/125 i will have to hold steady! tahnx beforehand, kostas =============================================== so... no matter what, CHEER UP MY FRIENDS!
