Pix will be coming.....He got the film and the CD Rom....  I need to get the
best to post here.

I have said repeatedly, buy the fastest lens possible if you are going to
shoot in low light.  Us film guys do not have a magic ASA dial to change the
effective shutter speed when the light gets too low.  Next, as Ted has said,
practice with long exposures.  Never know when you will need to use those
skills.....

"accidental" elbow would have been too high... more like an  accidental
knee!  As I said, I knew the photographer.  He was most respectful.  With
him on 1 side with a tripod and flash, the other guy ( his assistant) on the
other side with tripod and flash, it was pretty crowded.....   And I looked
just like a Catholic..... both knees firmly planted on the floor. 

One funny aside... Remember that a flash operates in like a 1/10,000 of a
second or faster.  My shutter speed was 1/8 of a second.  One frame was
illuminated by the flash from the Pro I knew.....   Kinda funny, because I
knew of the possibility, and at the time, realized what had happened....  Of
course, that frame was a bit overexposed.  ( F1.4 compared to probably F8
?).

Yup, way too stressful.

More power to youse that do this or did this every weekend!

That's what I miss about not using RF's at weddings, hard as hell to hold a
SLR at 1/8th sec.

Whenever a wedding guest tells me to "step in front of me as needed", it
sometimes results in a "accidental" elbow bump. Or a harder 
hit if they are using a Canon. :)
