You might not need flash. Do you know what the ambient lighting will be like? I'd imagine it would be strong flood lighting and bright enough to shoot fast shutter.
If so, I wouldn't bother with flash because it will kill the atmosphere of the show.
Ok I'm back..
I couldn't tell you more because I had no idea of the lighting and it was very far for me to drive just to see.. so I had to imagine the worst scenario... which it was....
It was not like a figure skating show or a rock show where you have spot lights.... it was in a dark indoor arena..
I ended up renting a single flash that I put on tripod and used it as a slave to my oncamera flash...
It was good when it worked.....
At first I had my camera flash set to minimum, just to get the other flash firing.. then I had to reset the settings and didn'T know how to set that, so on the last day my camera flash was shooting strong, and so did the slave flash, but at least when the slave didn't fire, my camera flash could cover it some...
I had to take only one chosen shot for each go, at one single barrel... if my timing was off, too bad for me....
It was helllllllll!!! But on 3 days, the last day was the best cause I knew how to work around the problems finally...
Will post something soon..
Thanks!
