The DNCC Annual Dinner

Many photographers including myself like to work with natural daylight.  This isn't always an option so when I'm shooting indoors I use a Cannon Speedlight 580EX II.

Using a flash mounted on the camera adds an additional level of complexity.  I recommend avoiding using direct flash.  With a bit of practice bouncing the flash and trying different exposure compensation settings you can achieve pretty good lighting.  It can be a little hit and miss at first but the more you practice the luckier you tend to get.

To the left is one of the photographs I shot for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Chamber of Commerce at their annual dinner using bounced flash.  There are Selected images from the event on our website
