can't say I'm a massive fan of them, flash, especially direct flash like that, and live gigs don't work too well IMO.....much prefer to see the lighting that was intended!

also, lose the borders

Why are they all random sizes too? they don't line up even next to each other :s

I started off with the 50mm but due to the lack of available light i was struggling to get 1/30s at iso3200, f/1.8. This would have been hard on a static subject, never mind someone moving about fast

I also haven't used direct flash. I was using the sb600 bounced at 90° with a stofen, using a mixture of normal flash and rear curtain. Most of these are at iso3200 WITH flash to get maximum ambient light and retain a decent shutter speed.

Borders are subjective i realise that, but i like them

Why does it matter that they don't line up? I didn't realise this was geometry

its not geometry no it just seems a bit weird for them to be so random

Would it perhaps have worked better to take advantage of CLS and get the flash off the camera then? Gel it a bit too to make it look more like ambient.

Pile of crap those heads, solid state buggery

In regard to the pictures, it's a shame about the lack of ambient lighting like you said, still handled it pretty well!
