With winter fast approaching I'm moving into using flash more and more during weddings.
I had one this weekend which wasn't difficult but made me question my way of doing things in a sense of 'What could I of done better'
My issue is noise, not the lighting as such.
The camera used for this image was a 1D4 with a 24-105L at F4 and a 580EX II with a stofen gold diffuser. The ISO was 6400 and the Shutter speed was 1/40 sec.
I know some answers would be to use the 24-70 2.8 but at that aperture I can either half the ISO or double the shutter speed. 1/40 sec handheld on a non IS lens can be problematic.
The High ISO was chosen to get the ambient light in the shot, the gold diffuser was used to better match the tungsten lighting in post production.
I would of preferred to use a 1/4 CTO gel and bounce the light instead but the new gels hadn't arrived.
What would you of done, with the equipment I had?
I also had the 24L but wanted a bit more detail in the images.
