Won't NiCds give the fastest recycling? Tho' lithiums will last much
longer.
Use the narrowest aperture you can to increase the flash to ambient light
ratio, e.g. f/8-f/11. Use the calculator on the back to estimate your
range.
You could also add a slave flash or two. One of my highschool shots of a
night football game was strong enough to trigger someone else's slave
resulting in a nice side-lit shot.
