As it is always suggested take a fast lens with you, start with low iso but dont hesitate to increase it when needed, noisy shot > blurry shot

Hi Zak,

As IgorFB has suggested up the ISO anyway. You will find that most of the images will be better if they are aged or mono:

Both taken with a D700 with no flash but as you can see the first one was aged so quality of camera was nearly irrelevant.

Hope that helps.

Best regards

Chris

Highest ISO you can get away with, largest apeture
