Description
Just one of the many practice shots I took sunday night. I played around with the flash tonight, and learned quite a few things.

2nd-curtain flash does help for some shots. Some shots it does nothing or makes it worse.

Each performer has their own style. And they don't spin at a constant rate. Thus the lighting is always Drastically changing. After much experimenting I think I have found an "optimal" setting to use. Only took me 3 weekends...

I wish I had an external flash. The on-board camera flash is a little weak. I'd love to experiment with a 580ex on these guys.

I have found a better vantage point for the practices, but its farther away. I'm pretty sure that my flash will be useless from there. I think 55mm zoom might be OK from there though, might be just long enough.
