okay this club was very very dark, and i was using an old flash that was originally meant for a nikon (only thing i had), so i had no focus assist and the power level had to be controlled manually. i felt like i was being forced to shoot at that high iso (didn't like that feeling) any tips and advice that you may have please pass them on, because i wasn't happy with the results

For what it's worth... #6 is the only image that looks like it might be a night club.

The rest kinda look like posed shots in an empty hall for a swingers posting board.

Just doesn't have that "night club" feel.

#2 just makes me laugh :D

tru, and belive the reason for that "feeling" was because it wasn't exactly a packed house that night.

Yeaaaaaa exactly what I thought right away, I think you did a good job capturing some action in a empty house.
