Hi all
When you shoot indoors how do you set up? -roughtly, I know every venue is different.
I tend to bung on the 50mm 1.8, go manual at ISO800, around 2.5-5.6 aperture depending on the subject(s) and around 1/60th on the shutter, then use the 430 EX flash to do the rest on ETTL mode and bounced off the ceiling, always with a soften on.
Ive seen some people shoot with the flash directly at the subject, but when Ive tried that its been too over-powering. Maybe its better to manually set the flash to a low power setting? Bouncing produces good result but only when you nail the angles, so Im wondering if direct would give me a better hit ratio?
I need to play around, but I work long hours and live on my own so don't really have a subject.
I usually find a custom WB level that works for the environment and stick to matrix metering, maybe spot would be better thinking about it?
Sorry if this subject has been done to death already! Just looking for some pointers.
