Saturday. no smoking. fo sho' shizzle my nizzle.

haha ok that was uncalled for. anyways, there was an anti-smoking campaign in school, and being the enthusiastic photographer that i am, i came to cover the event.

it started off well, the weather was for the better as the rain cooled down the hall a bit, so aerobics wasn't that much of a 'hot' exercise to do haha ntam xP

Went to the hall earlier than the other students, get white balance readings and exposure settings right. Honestly, having a f4-5.6 lens on in a big hall with uber-high ceilings doesn't really give much space for bouncing the flash. So most of the time i was firing almost full power to the ceiling, with a 'The Better Bounce Card' installed [ find the tutorial in youtube for those clueless out there ].

note: my speedlite started to failed on me [noo~] during the band performance at the canteen, so i had to improvise. the 50mm doesn't really give much range though.

now outdoors is much easier to shoot. there's just much more light to work with and thus i don't need a full-power flash output every time i shoot. just some fill flash will do.
