I'm wondering how best to cope with a situation.
I was asked to get some shots at church this weekend. Yesterday, at a wedding, I was after some "generational images" to illustrate a "project" unrelated to this specific wedding event. This image was shot with WB set for flash. The colors are true for "the people". (ignore the fact that the bride's eyes are closed; I trashed this shot )
Today I was shooting a special service for a slideshow destined for the church website. I do not use flash when shooting actual services; this is available light using my fastest lens with WB set for tungsten. All colors are true.
I know what's happening. The flash illuminates the foreground and doesn't reach as far as the background mosaic which, thus, comes out orange because it is only lit by the church lighting (incandescent lights). I don't think having a more powerful speedlight (more than twice the cost of my Nikon SB600) is the answer. I think that would simply blow out the foreground ... right?
Because I don't do this as a profession I'm not about to buy seven to eight hundred dollars worth of remote speedlights in order to reach into the background.
I was shooting Raw so I suppose I could double-process in ACR, once as flash and again as tungsten and then use a mask to blend the two images. Does anybody have a better bright idea?????
