Fill flash? Maybe some sort of mix of flash with the ambient light could give you the sharpness you need along with a consistent color for the room exposure. A flash (or set of flashes) set to about 1/8, 1/16 power or some such could maybe help out. Just guessing, here. Maybe it would be something good to go and test out with a stuffed animal or something. :-) > Next time, I'll try locking in the white balance and going with a > somewhat shorter exposure > time.
