SB800+Kit Lens=School Ball Departure Pic
Hi! All, This was taken with SB800 set to AutoTTL + Pmode @ 60th sec RAW. Have discovered with SB800 that if you shoot RAW it takes a lot of pressure off not having to fiddle with eposure settings so much (apologies to the purists)  As you can go a bit each way as I did with this one to get the desired result.
Any observations and critic's welcome! Andyt 
Looks like a difficult shot to expose properly, with the variance in subject to camera (flash) distances, but you've done well. Might want to up the exposure compensation a little to bring out the back two people? Then I suppose the first bloke might be a bit bright... can't win 'em all I suppose?
Just from experience...
I'd say that there were other parents / people taking photos at the same time... Also, my guess is that the girl in the silvery pink dress has some connection with you... Cheers, John

Not bad at all considering the range of colours and reflection type materials - well done

MCWB, Yes, You are right, what I posted looks good on my monitor (19" CRT) and printed well, though I notice it appears a lot darker on the forum.
Leek, Geez! Can you do that with the Lotto numbers?
The girl looking at the camera is my daughter, and yes, all parents and relies were there, we were waiting for the limo to arrive, I would arrang a pose for them, move back to take the pic and (it seemed like) a dozen P&S's went off, with the short attention span of the group, by the time a had a clear shot they had lost the plot a bit. (In frustration,to get this shot, I switched to full manual and took a pic of the parents!  By the time they all recovered I had this one)
Not nice I know, but very effective! Tx Chris, was fiddley to adjust, as you say because of the range of colours and exposure this was the best result to date. Regards, Andyt

Well done. I'm puzzled - 4 girls & 2 boys. Interesting numbers. Peter

Stubbsy, Don't you know we have more girls than boys in this world 
And don't you know why the majority of astronauts are male? NASA tried to send more men than women into the space with the purposes of finding somewhere in the outer space the place with only women, lucky buggers, those astronauts Birddog114

LOL... I took some similar shots recently of a group of 5 year-olds... I took the initiative to get them all to pose for the camera and off course all the point and shoots came out of the handbags and all the parents started taking photos at the same time... Each kid would only look at its parent's camera and not at mine... That was a lesson learnt... Next time, I'll ask all the parents to take turns... Cheers, John
