I think I actually used the on camera flash in there and used P and had a high ISO for it. I didn't want to fuss too much with settting myself in there. But sometimes I think my "P" setting isn't right. If I have it set for flash I think it should have a faster shutter speed than what it was giving me at times. But maybe I'm wrong.
I used my external flash at CRT and I was very disappointed with the pictures I got there.
Well, I almost never use the pop-up flash on my camera. Any time I think I might want a flash, I use my external flash. I was never happy with the recycle time of the pop-up flash for character photos. After a few, it would sometimes "busy" up on me for a bit. The external recharges much faster.
I need to get brave and try bouncing my flash more, but I'm afraid to try that in an unknown setting like 1900 PF or CRT. I have a friend who tried to bounce her flash at CRT and she ended up with a band of shadow on each photo. I'd rather have my noisy photos than that, so I'm never want to branch out and try.
I was happy with the CRT photos from this trip, but we were seated by the windows and there was lots of natural light coming in.
I'm thinking your ADR was late, maybe after sunset? Regardless, aren't the windows at CRT currently covered? I'd be curious to hear how that was.
I still haven't had my "ah-ha" moment on flash photography. I"m hoping it comes soon!
