Here is the moment when this photo was taken:

Actually, - the fact that I was also sitting down created a harsher shadow - photos taken at a different jam, when I was photographing from the same level or slightly above didn't have such drastic shadows. >Or, you could put your light on a monopod and hold it up and away from >the camera. Not a feasible solution. It is not compact enough (and not controllable enough in a crowd). Even just with a hot-shoe flash I had one of the couples swinging a hand/arm into the flash or the lens shade (fortunately without any consequences to either side). > You could try getting one of those fabric reflectors that velcro onto > the flash and wrap it around three sides, point the flash straight up, > most of the light will bounce, but you'll get a bunch of fill going > straight forward. That ceiling didn't bounce much light. It one of those sound-proof dropped (aka false-) ceilings that are porous. It is also rather high. > I'd probably make one of my water jug diffusers, but put foil on three > sides so that it would be like a directed fongdong. I was already thinking about attaching some foil on the Lightsphere sides.

This is a consious decision: > the dance is too fast (the music was probably about 200-250 bpm when > that shot was taken), so, 1/80 s or 1/100 s is the longest exposure I can I just listened to the audio on Youtube, - it is about 266 bpm.
