Sometimes I get the opportunity to shoot pictures during a fashion show a friend of mine organises. I did this twice now, but I have the following problem: The models won't freeze!
My surroundings are usually quite sharp, no movement, but the shutter isn't fast enough. And I have no idea how to improve that. I usually shoot in A mode, I do get that I should start shooting in S mode. But what shutter speed (in combination with what ISO) is the best to use? I'm afraid my pictures will become too dark.
I use an Olympus E620 with a 14-42mm, f/3.5 kit lens. I do have an external flash, but haven't quite fugured out how to use it yet, and it is very bright! My subjects don't usually like me using it...
I do try to experiment, but this friend does expect a few good pictures (he asks me to take them, and would like to be able to use a few for his website), so too much experimenting on the night isn't cool.
This is my result:
Does anyone have any tips and tricks for me?
Thanks!
