Photography in Floodlights! Help needed!

[HitenNainaney]

Hey everyone,

Even though I'm not too active around here, I rarely hit the bed before reading a few threads here on TPF.

Now I'm here for help.

Just this evening I got the great but nerve wrecking news of being chosen as the official photographer for a team for the prestigious Dubai World Cup (Horse-racing). Which is being held on the 27th Feb.

My shoot would consist taking pictures of the jockey along with his horse within the stadium atmosphere. Around 7pm. A while after sunset. I tried pushing the team manager to get me a slot just before sunset, but turns out you really can't be demanding with the sheikhs own team!

I've previously only had experience with studio and natural light photography and this would be my first time shooting in flood lights.

Any pointers and your past experiences would be awesome!

Cheers,
Hiten Nainaney

Fill flash, fill flash and some more fill flash. Meter for the BG and use the flash's "auto" mode to fill in the rider.
