Hey everyone!
It's been a while, but I am picking up the camera after 6 months for a gig I was offered.
Some sort of exclusive downtown Night Club.
350d body
430ex flash
stock 18-55 3.5 lens
I am wondering what your recommendation would be for settings. I definitely want to eliminate blur of the subjects, yet I would like to pick up some of the background/colors.
I find shooting 1600 with a flash results in a blur. 400 or so does not light up the background though.
What about 1600 with a manual setting of f3.5 and say, 1/200th shutter? I assume my flash gun will be able to properly expose the subject, and hopefully the 1600 will pick up some of the background.
I'm getting rusty!
Help!
(this is tomorrow night, so kinda urgent on the replies! thanks)
