Attended MFF this past weekend. I took some pics at the dance competition. I did discover how much better my photos could be when I have a bitchin powerful external flash unit.
This is
kiliankray. This guy was hard to shoot when his back was facing me...damn you black! But whenever he pointed my way, he was a perfect subject =D More will be forthcoming as I edit them.
I used my YN560 flash to bounce off of the ~30 foot ceiling to illuminate the subjects from above (took me a few dancers to realize I needed to use the bounce technique and had enough power to do it at those distances). A good high flash power (max not needed though) with a high shutter speed and smallish aperture let me darken the background while giving the subject good illumination so that they POP out (things I figured out a few dancers later, so not on this image). Was using my 80-200mm lens on this, so you can imagine my surprise that the flash had enough power to bounce those kind of distances and achieve this much illumination in this horribly illuminated room XD

Nah, they had the lights on bright for a while before the event started, then because all the rooms were connected together, they had to figure out how to turn the lights down without effecting all the other rooms. I don't recall any bright lights ever being used by the staff at any point, but maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention.
Someone turned on brighter lights, staff or not. I remember the audience making an upset noise because of them coming on. The lights were ceiling mounted controlled by the same panels but the staff was dimming the incandescent lamps trying to turn off the HIDs which should have stayed on, in my opinion.
The room was unnecessarily dark. :(
