Thank again for all the helpful tips. Though I'm still more comfortable with outdoor photoshoots, I will not turn down any indoor events. The 580 EX is a must-have for me and I am reading a book and have the video to learn more about the best use for this flash.
I am attaching a few pictures from the B'nai...
Thanks and best wishes,
Barbara.
PS: we had some family portraits taken before the event, I attach a silly one...then the actual ceremony (yes, they wanted me to take pictures and videos)...and then the party.

What a fun party and your photos turned out really good!!
I forgot to say that I love the family one. They look like a fun bunch!
In the op it was said after five shots the 580ex stopped working. I didn't catch why.What was the problem with it?

it must have been the batteries, I used my rechargeable batteries back then, learned my lesson. Now I use brandnew non -rechargeable batteries and have an extra pack with me. I did not need the extras, even though I took about 600 flash photos that night.
Barbara, what kind of rechargeable batteries do you have? I use Eneloop brand and they seem to go on forever.

My rechargeable batteries were energizer, I'm guessing they were old and that's why they didn't last.
Before this photoshoot I went to Hooper to buy the eneloop batteries, but they don't sell them. I ended up using new non- rechargeable energizer batteries, and like I mentioned earlier, one package lasted through the whole event, about 600 flash photos. No complaint there!
Barbara, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. The title of the book that I mentioned in a previous entry is: 'Professional Digital Techniques for Photographing Bar and Bat Mitzvahs" by Stan (or Solomon) Turkel. I believe that the ebook was less than $20.00, but it's worth its weight in gold.
Nomad, thanks again for the book title. I bought it and it is a wonderful book, very well written with so many images to look at. I will be very well prepared for the next bar mitzvah...thanks again.
Pleasure was all mine. We are here to share.
