The shot at the end though was at the exact moment a P&S's flash went off and it created an AWESOME fill flash effect on the shadows, like off camera lighting results people are always showing off Wedding Photography Melbourne

They always insist on doing the certificate shot with flash and it always makes it look really crap (shadows, colours either too warm or cold), when a fast prime or zoom would be great. I remember at my grad I used a 70-200mm f/4L IS with no motion blur problems whereas the hired pros still insisted on using a flash with their 70-200 2.8. ?? Well, believe me when I tell you the lighting on that end of the stage was awful. The graduates' right-hand halves of their faces were totally in shadow. The flash at least lets you control the lighting. T2i | 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS | 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS | 50mm f/1.8 II | 430ex
