Evening,

just looking for some advice, Im shooting an events evening at the local high school as i did this last year. i didn't like the photos but school were happy enough to get them blown up of display purposes. Last year i and received some good advice regarding this situation de to the event being held in a marquee in a school hall, so was very dark.

I have since changed camera to a Nikon and had to borrow a flash, gonna play around with all this before the evening.

But looking for some advice as i normally do all my work in a studio and not that used to camera flash in a dark environment.

I think the thing i had last year was even thought o used auto and TTL, photos were coming out to dark too much noise from high iso or them being too bright.

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks

I prefer
"Excuse me Sir, can you tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?"
"Practice son, practice"

There's a lot that you can do to get correct exposure in camera, and as always it's down to practice, experiment and knowledge.. But marquee's are horrible places to photograph and there's always an image quality compromise if you need to light a large area with an ordinary hotshoe flashgun. Can you use your studio lights instead, or use multiple flashguns, or use powerful portable lighting?
