So today, I was shooting my cousin's bathisment (I was in no way hired or payed, I just did it to learn and never promised any pictures) and I had problems with the low lighting usually in churches, so I slapped on my f/2.8 17-50, I ended up turning the aperture all the way down to 2.8 my shutter speed was at about 1/50 and (as a last resort) my ISO was set to 800 (I'm shooting with a Rebel T1i btw, because I'm a beginner :er And I ended up getting a lot of grain. Is there something else I could do? I did use the on-board flash because I needed to (and they still turned out under-exposed). Or would I have to get a hot shoe mounted flash (with a soft box defuser)?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: also, any tips on setting custom white balance? All I know is that I take a picture of white and set that picture in the settings menu. Is that all?
