I so a good friend asked if I could photograph her child's 4th birthday party so that she would be able to enjoy it more. I fullly explained to her my lack of experience in this type of shooting. She is fine with that as it is a free thing. I am to take pics and deliver a SD card to her with the pictures on it.
It's called a black light dance party. For ages 2-14. They place has a website and videos online. It will be dark but enough light that you can still see what is going on(this is for children so think dimmer switch) also glow sticks and a disco ball
Gonna be using a canon t3i(read as ISO 800-1600 MAX) a 50 1.4 and a 12-24 f4 for this. I also own a good flash unit with capability for off camera flash.
Here's the questions.
Should I use the 50 and just try and use ambient light
Should I use the 12-24 and use the flash on second curtain with my shutter around 1/20-1/60 so that I get some blur but a sharp face?
Any thoughts would help me out!! I have about a month till the event.
