[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 331615, member: 13090"] If I were you, I would spend some time learning the basics of [URL="http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/camera-exposure.htm"]The Exposure Triangle[/URL] and then Google some tutorials for night shooting in general. I don't think I've ever used a flash at night so I'm not sure what kind of photography you're going for. I could give you some suggestions for basic low light/night photography but what settings you want to use will be determined by what you want your final outcome to look like; we can't give you specific recipes or tips for how to do this shoot because there *are no* recipes we can give you for this, not even in the most general sense. What it sounds like you need to do is learn what tools you have, what the tools do and what their functional limits are both individually and when working in tandem with other tools. This applies to what lens to use; when, if and how to use a flash; whether or not to employ Active D-Lighting and everything else. You apply your understanding to some shots and then see what you get. Based on those shots, you move forward, adjusting your tools to get the results you want. That's what we all do because, in a nutshell, that's how photography works. [COLOR=#ffffff]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
