I had the pleasure of photographing a very special event last night. Bonnie Crombie -candidate for Mayor of Mississauga- on the campaign trail, made a presentation to the Hispanic community there.
As Bonnie says, she is passionate about Mississauga and its people, their welfare and happiness, and this is easy to see in the animation and expressiveness evident in these photos of her.

The event was held in a lovely restaurant. The only problem was (for a photographer), that the lighting was very dim. Under these conditions, focusing becomes very difficult and the camera can just refuse to fire. Since this scenario is not uncommon, (for example, wedding photographers encounter this often) I thought I'd address it here.
With a Speedlight mounted on your DSLRs hotshoe, change your focus mode to AF-S (Single Servo/ Single Area AF). Now half press the shutter release and you'll see the red lights on your Speedlight activate. A red beam will project onto your subject . This will allow your lens to focus. Problem solved.
