I'm looking for some help! I am a new starting out photographer in a nightclub in my town and I really need help with some settings. I've been looking online and playing about with my camera for a while now but I can't get the results that I want. I have a Nikon D80 with a Speedlite YN467. I want there to me moving lights in the background and foreground but keep the people in focus. Can someone help me with get the proper settings or some advice? I've tried applying to second curtain flash which I keep seeing pop up, but it just isn't working. Please Help!!

Tricky, to get the lights moving you are going to be keeping your shutter open for a while, which means blurred people. All I can suggest is to use a rear curtain flash which might give you a better finish. If you stick a couple of pics up that you have taken with a list of kit being used and settings as eye-level suggest someone may be able to offer more suggestions. Good luck with the work, I photograph a lot of live music so I know how tricky and frustrating it can be.
