I'm shooting (for fun) a cool Jack O'Lantern exhibit. Unfortunately, tripods and monopods are not allowed. The 5DII is great in low light and I know I'm going to obviously just try to be very steady or use things around me to stabilize. However, my concern is also about being able to focus in that low light a setting. Auto focus will probably have trouble, so I may have to switch to manual. I AM allowed to use flash, but obviously that would just mess up the photos. However, I'm wondering if I can use my strobe to help with focusing, but not have it fire when I press the shutter. I have a Yongnuo 467 - but haven't used it in that way before, so not sure if it can even do that ... and the instructions are crap).
So ....
1. any tips on extreme low light photography with the 5DII, outside of steady hands LOL, open aperture and as slow a shutter as I can manage).
2. anyone know about the Yongnuo and it's ability to help me focus, but not fire with the shutter?
Thank you!
