No doubt a subject done to death but I have some specific difficulties.... one being that I am almost totally new to using a flash (yep, I know...).
I am helping a pal out at his wedding next weekend, no budget, yada yada.
The ceremony itself is in a castle with poor lighting. The light the room does have is all from the left hand side of the hall coming from tall windows.
I was thinking I have two options for lighting:
1) try and keep it natural and place a wirelessly triggered flash gun up on the windows with a diffuser and set the power manually as to not over expose and make it look artificial. I couldn't use TTL here because the flash doesn't know how far away it is from the subject, right?
2) use the flash gun in TTL with a diffuser on camera – but will this give me artificial looking shots?
I appreciate the above is rather simple and I may have made a faux pas... but any advice or direction would be much appreciated. Don’t worry, the happy couples expectations have been realistically set!
