Hi folks

As the title says, I'm looking for a little advice on shooting an upcoming breakdancing event that a mate is organising. I'm using a D7100, and plan on shooting mainly with my sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 to get some interesting angles/composition & maybe throw on my Sigma 70-200 to get some photos of the audience/close ups of the dancers. But... I don't have an off camera flash, and am still very much a dunce when it comes to using flash anyway (I blame it on being too interested in landscapes for too long :)). So, other than using auto ISO to keep my shutter as fast as possible, does anyone have any advice on shooting in this kind of low light situation (I'm presuming it will be anyway) that might help me get good results?
 
If you're not using flash, there's not much more to be done that you've not already realised. You'll have to rely on higher ISO values and wider apertures to keep the shutter speed up. Faster lenses will help massively of course... but you've either got those or you haven't. The 7100 gives a pretty good account of itself in low light. Don't be scared f a bit of noise.
 
Thanks for that. I'm intending to get a flags as soon as cash allows so ill probably post for some advice on that over in the equipment forum! :)
