Also I should have mentioned that I was bouncing the flash off of the ceiling. Do you think it would help if I faced it forward directly? I use a Stofen, or a Gary Fong. I have both.

Ouch no, then you would have direct flash. Yap uses a Fong and I think Turbo uses a flashbounce (from the last picture of his gear I think it's a lumiquest style pocket bouncer).

I was actually VERY close to coming out to the event, but I was on a plane at the last minute! At least I know next time i'm in Vegas, I will most likely run into you! :)

Here is one I shot recently. What's your thoughts Turbo?

While I'm not Turbo, I'd say drag the shutter more, and get in closer.

Alternative crop, if you prefer landscape orientation:

Here's one of my favorite's to date, because I felt like I "captured the moment" in this shot.

QUOTED IMAGE

You also captured someone elses flash, which dramatically improves the lighting ;)
Nice. Would have been nice to have included the photographer, and the hand on the right...

BKGInc wrote in post #6228971 (external link)
Also I now know that I shouldnt shoot in Program mode

Right about that; P mode uses 1/60s as a lowest shutterspeed, so flash will be main light.
2 to 3 stops more ambient, and these images would have looked way better.

Also; try to get faces instead of backs ;)

Different for a change. I like it.

Three things I'd like to say:

#1: 20mm isn't wide enough
#2: I should really improve my aim when shooting without looking through the VF.
#3: Damn.

LOL! Yeah, that might have been kind of a cool shot if you could have gotten everyone in the frame.

Hey guys...PLEASE HELP ME! I have posted two pics here for you to comment on, I know that they are crap!:o I need advice on what I should do to hopefully improve. I would love to be able to one day take photos like you guys have all posted here. Your shots all look awesome.:cool:
I shot these with my 40D, 24-70L, 430EX hand-held, in P mode on the dial (Program). The lighting kinda sucks in this club and I can't do much about that. I can use my flash as much as I want there. Also I now know that I shouldnt shoot in Program mode so I wont, Ive been trying to use Manual mode alot more. Anyway, take a peek at them and give me your 2 cents worth. EXIF date is there.
Thanks a million for your help........

Thanks yap'in, I'm going to work on that.

Okay guys......THANKS! This is how I will start off my next shoot which is tonight. M mode, ISO800, F/4, 1/30 Shutter, with my flash, and I"ll be working on "dragging the shutter". And I should add that I set my flash to 2nd curtain sync. I'm going to use my 24-70 so I dont have Image Stabilization, do you think that 1/30 shutter speed is risky for hand holding?

Bro... you dont need any fancy to shoot in the club scene.. your camera,flash,diffuser, and 18-55mm lens and some fresh batteries and some hottt chicks to take pictures and your good to go.

I wouldn't: Screws up your timing with slower speeds, there is no discernable direction of motion anyways (dancing tends to be pretty much in all directions ;)), and you will get more closed eyes because of the longer lag between pre-flash and actual flash...

Depends on the amount of ambient on the subject...
Have a look here.
