I was taking a few portraits at my sons birthday party today, they were taken indoors, I had my jessops afd300 flash on, diffused with a piece cut from a milk carton.
I was having difficulty in getting a quick enough shutter speed, as it was mostly kids and they wouldn't stay still for long. I was bouncing the flash, as it appeared to harsh when pointed straight at the subject, even when diffused.
I was shooting at f4.5, ISO 800 or 1600 on Av mode.
The main problem was that the pictures were blurred, due to the slower shutter speed. Is there anything I can do to counter this, or is it simply a case that the cheap Jessops flash isn't up to it?
I've not had time to upload the pictures yet, but I will do later to demonstrate what I mean.
Thanks for any advice.
