Castle "Afterglow"

[jlabel]

I often shoot weddings and events, and all of them are indoors, so my usual settings are f/2,8 iso 400-800 and speed varies but its around 1/60s

I kind of like the result, using it wide open usually removes the nuisance around the subject such as light switches or people peering from behind, also makes the flash power to be more efficient.

My flash is always bounced with a white/silver cardboard atop the flash head with ev+1.

Cool photo-merge, it definitely revived the castle shot.

You might have found better sharpness with a smaller aperture, however the combo totally works.

I was just about to say to use smaller apperture.
The photo does lack sharpness
