Two days ago I went to this break dance event. Break dance is coming back up to the surface now after years, and that’s great!
I was disappointed though about the poor lighting conditions. So I went deep into my camerabag for my flash. After just one shot with it, breakers came up to my deeply concerned and saying they would prefer that I did’nt used it. “It’s really a bad thing for us! It breaks our concentration”. I said that it was almost impossible to shoot without it due to the low light. We finally came to an agreement and I turned the flash down by -3. Still it was a hard task to get a decent photo of the fast moving breakers.

Though I tried shooting with less flash, others did not. Maybe I should care about myself and do like he did.
My question is: How do you deal in situations like this?
Canon Eos 5D, EF 50mm f/1.4L USM @ 1/200 sec. f/1.4.
Later on the evening I did this photo. It was on a scene and the lighting was far better.
