540 flash for wedding photography

[pnstenquist at comcast.net]

I almost always shoot in manual mode when using the 540 on my K10D. You still get P-TTL exposure control. And by dialing in the exposure as close to ambient as possible, you get subtle lighting, particularly when using the flash with a reflector. When shooting dancers or other moving objects, try trailing curtain synch with a very slow shutter speed. You can get some nice motion blur.
