C&C please. I shot at f/4 and tried to use the flash as fill. The stage and where I was in the audience made it hard to get a clear shot. I shot also at f/2.8, but the podium and the author distance was so close that it look weird with the bokeh.

Not the sharpest picture I woulda love to have, but any tips on how to captures moments like this better.

Thanks,

Mike

I think the shot looks just fine. The ratio feels right with the room.. IF the flash was much brighter it would look too much like a snapshot. I got excited seeing The Tattered Cover sign. Haven't been there in over 10 years. Do they still have all those great black and white shots of authors hanging up? Cool store.
