Hi I am shooting a presentation later this month and people are entering with low light and laser lighting. The people want to see the lasers and the people clearly Never done a shoot like this any suggestions , someone suggested about 1/50th shutter, wide aperture as possible and rear curtain flash but I am worried the flash will just light everything up. Any help would be brilliant.:)
 
Take care, have seen a few articles where lasers have damaged the camera sensor
 
Cheers never realised that before
 
what class of laser will be involved?

check this thread I did about 1 day ago, this is laser photography, but i was in control of the laser source, class 2 1mW green.

but as a rule of thumb, never stand in the beam, always have the camera perpendicular to the beam, this is to protect your eyes too


oh I forgot too mention, up the ISO, keep the F around 3.5 - 6 and shutter speed 1/100 or slightly less but not too much otherwise you will get camera shake, that is if you are not using a tripod

I will just repeat the above. Be careful as a camera will collect all the light and focus it to the back of your eye! I good idea would be to use live veiw, that way you will just fry your sensor and not your eye. :)

Thanks very much for the advice I feel for what I am charging them to do the shoot I won't take the chance with the lasers just do the shots of the presentation after the lasers go off as it doesn't even cover the cost of a new sensor and is not worth the risk damaging the camera or my eye as its a D200 I use and doesn't have live view. Thanks again for all your help. :-)
