Tina, that is EXACTLY the reason NOT to use flash. As I previously
mentioned, war photography may be another time where flash isn't
really a good idea. I would never be so presumptuous as to suggest
that you are an incompetent hack for not wanting to use flash.
HOWEVER!!!!!
I would launch all over a "professional wedding photographer" who
hasn't figured out the basics of lighting. High ISOs are no substitute
for careful lighting and attention to detail. It is mind-bending to
see the schlock that is being passed off today as professional wedding
photography. I understand the "styles change" thing--I'm as fluid with
styles as anybody. What I'm pounding on is the idiots who haven't a
clue how to use a flash other than full-auto mode and couldn't do a
fill light ratio to save their lives. Oh, but they have a Fong (sorry,
Paul) so they are expert.
Just my opinion from a curmudgeon.
