Hi duncan

Thank you for you reply and the advice given.

I have just got back from doing a test shoot. To be honest i had to bin all the shots. This is a challenging assignment being as i am totally new to this type of photography.

I had an idea of what i wanted to do, ie use long exposures, the only problem i had with this was the people there were obviously moving so are blured. the artificial lighting was also a problem as it looks flared in the shots taken. Also had problems with composition, could'nt work out how to compose the shot. just looked a mess and cluttered. did try to bounce the flash in a couple of shots, but it has little effect. tried flash with defuser, without, and even tryed turning the flash power up.
unfortunately i dont have the ability to use off camera flash as i dont have a cord.

I beleive this is going to be a steep learning curve, because at the moment i am baffled.

cheers lee
