I have my second shoot set for tomorrow. They love my work but I am not happy with the shadows I get. (See sample below) How do I get rid of that. When I angle my flash up the pictures are under exposed. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!!

| If the ceiling isn't too tall, bouce your flash off of there to soften shadows...or if you can boost your ISO even more, try without flash altogether. |

| I use a flash bracket that puts the flash straight above the lens, and has a camera rotator that rotates the camera keeping the lens right under the flash when flipping it vertical. Mine is a Stroboframe Pro-RL, but there are many other ones out there. I also use a Lightsphere on the flash as well. |

I covered an event recently (similar podium speech thing), I was using the SB-800 flash bounced off the celing (about 15 feet high)... had my ISO set to 400 and was using the flash at +1 and 2/3 to get more light.
Try different angles for bouncing the flash .. I had to do a few test shots before I got the light correct without any shadows.
