I never use servo mode (except when I was shooting those skaters the other day), so the assist lamp is a nice bonus to the approach. I used to shoot with it, but I realized that the second shots never focused like I wanted, anyway. So I just do a ton of refocusing, which I've gotten pretty good at, and prefer at the moment. If you haven't noticed, I'm a little psychotic about focus. :) But it helps ease the hair-pulling when I look on the computer and realize something is blurry ... Also, breaking rules is fun! ha ha.

These color washes are Beautiful! I too have tried the block cap method, but canon doesn't let the camera use the af assist lights in servo mode. If I have learned anything from EXIF peeping at your shots, you tend to break the reciprocal shutter speed rule in favor of gaining more DOF and Sharpness. I like this! I don’t know what to say..
