Last night at Old Fort Niagara, they opened the fort to a candle light visit. As it was in the 18th Century, the fort was lighted only in candle light. I tried my hardest but it was way over my head as far as getting good shots, I certainly learned a great deal and would do better the next time. It was a bunch of fun, none the less. All these folks dressed as they would have been between 1759 and 1813. The castle was filled with the smoke of real fireplaces, I learned what figgy pudding is and had a great time talking with the trappers, traders and soldiers of the period.

Also, any help on taking low to no light photographs with flash without getting such a "flashy" look, please let me know. I had a reall hard time focusing with the D30. I didn't learn later that I could have taken it out of evaluative metering and made my life easier. I think it would be really cool to know how to get good images out of conditions like that.
