There is an old jail in town that is a popular site for prom pictures. There are too many people using it to set up lights of any kind so a fill light with on camera flash is about all you can do. And forget a 70-200, people will be in the way, so a 24-70 is the must have lens for this. Everyone (about 10 couples this time) shows up at the same time, and after about 30 minutes they head out to dinner, then its off to the prom. It's all rush-rush. I don't know how this tradition began but it's sort of written in stone. All things considered I can live with the lighting here.
