->> There are more shutter clicks going than flash so many chose the high ISO route.
But there are some who want the look of strobe and not available. Looks the same as just about every crowded news conference. |

| ->> that is pretty excessive. Thank god it was only a 4 minute interview. I was getting ready to go into seizure from all the strobes. |

| ->> Ridiculous amount of flashes... I wonder how many frames were overexposed because of all the excessive flashing - Photographers are just screwing each other. |

| ->> I think they should drop the lights entirely so you get the whole haunted house strobe light affect - that would make these more entertaining to watch. |

| ->> How hard would it have been for them to setup a couple lights and tell photographers no flash allowed. After all, it is the biggest news in Royal Family history, in a long time. |

->> Was I the only one that felt like getting a glow stick and letting loose?
My eyes hurt, just set up a couple lights and no flash allowed. |

->> What Flashes...? Don't we all remember those hideous events with Michael Jackson or Prince William's own mother, Princess Di...? I think the flash duration times are just amplified on the web stream, that's about it. FWIW somebody's got a set of monolights or other A/C powered strobes there firing as well, as you you can hear the "beep" of their power pack recycling during the presser...
Just my 2% of a $...

->> never mind my dumb ass found it, it was not the default video.
It was bad just watching it, now just imagine having to look right at it from their perspective. To be honest if I was him I would ask them to not use flash. That can't be good for your eyes! |

->> Adrian,
I have not, but that was just getting ridiculous. I mean I really don't know how they do it day in and day out. You have to be blinded after an event like that.
And why doesn't the person leading the conference say something like, okay folks stop with the flashes. |

Maybe all the photogs in the video were just amateurs trading their photos for a credential to cover the wedding? |
