Reception Lighting
by Chris Bryan (ctb1010) on May 5, 2008 at 1:38:37 pm

Hello,

I shot a wedding this weekend, and the reception was really poorly lit. I had the iris all the way open and I even had to put some gain on to get anything to show up.

I'm wondering what everyone's experience is with an on camera light at a wedding. I feel like its too obtrusive, I know I wouldn't want one at my wedding. What general reactions have you gotten to having a light on your camera at the reception?

Is there a good option that's not too blinding? It seems to me that an on camera light is an all or none type of thing, but maybe there's a really low level light that I'm not aware of that would do just the trick so that I'm not shooting in the dark.
