    Great tips on indoor shooting, and also on the right equipment to have. Excellent job again!

    Hi Sonny, thanks for the tips on shooting indoors. I usually photograph landscapes so photographing a family event indoors was a first for me. With your settings as a starting point I managed to get around 70 that came out well, so hopefully my nephew will be pleased with his engagement party photos.

    Hi Sonny, on catching up with the shows I listened to this one today. Found it really interesting because from next week on I will have to shot indoors on some days for my 366 (on workdays I’m leaving the house when it’s still dark and come home when it’s dark and don’t want to shoot my office plant every day 🙂 )
    One thing I didn’t understand was the shutter speed you are setting when shooting indoors with a flash.
    I understood “one one fifteenth” and don’t find that setting on my camera Was that 1 / 115 or 1 – 1/15 or 1 1/15 (= 16/15).
    Sorry, it’s probably due to my bad english. Could you right me down the setting please.

      Chrissi, My mistake on how I said it. Should be “one fifteenth of a second” or 1/15sec. Sorry about the confusion.
