Photography tip for Prom/Ball Pictures.

Okay so since the season for Prom and Balls are now, here is a tip for all those camera wielding people. To reduce blur pictures for that special night

Please please please use the flash on your camera. Even though the color sometimes doesn't fit and red eye and overexposure might occur, you can fix those on the computer.Most likely the environment is in a dark or a not very well lit room.
Most digital cameras these days have that high ISO feature but I have seen pictures still coming out blur. Even if you do so, try to flash when the picture looks blur. So take a test shot first maybe to judge the lighting and how long you and the subjects got to stand still for the camera to finish capturing the moment.

DSLR wielding photographers, if you have that external flash, bounce it. If you don't you can still try to bump the ISO up and widening the Aperature or slowing down the shutter. Around 1/20 would be the most I dare since the place is already dark. There is a trick for bouncing the pop-up flash where you place a card in front of the the flash to bounce it but I haven't tried it before.

The other tip would be to have a spare battery or a FULLY charged one and also an EMPTY memory card.
Have a steady hand.
and shoot like crazy!

Best to have captured different moments than not getting any at all.
If you have a bad picture? Just delete it!

Have fun to all you readers out there!
Hope this helps.
