Paint it Black...

No, this is not Daniel Lee from Joseph, this was last weekends wedding venue! Take a large room, with no windows, double height ceiling, clad the walls with wood and then paint it Black, the result, an almost perfect 'anti photography' room!

To be fair I was able to light the people fine using a powerful hotshoe flashgun but detail to record in the background was virtually impossible, even at 1/30th at F2.0 at ISO800. Everything had to be done handheld as they wanted the more informal shots so i couldn't go for the long exposure and drag the shutter as I normally would in dark situations like that.

Anyway, I think we are OK, but I do wish couples would consider stuff like that when booking wedding venues!
