[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 155454, member: 13090"] Get to the performance area a little early to scope out the situation if you can, do some test shots and what not. Doing so could really help you get a better grip on the lighting situation. If it were me, I'd shoot this using Aperture Priority, keeping my shutter speeds at or around 1/125 to 1/250 and metering in "Matrix". The D90 supports "Auto ISO" so I'd let it! Same with white balance: Auto. For Auto Focus I'd probably use AF-S, be prepared to move my focus point and just deal with it. These setting should allow you to pay strict attention, more or less, on focus and composition. Histograms are a tool that, used correctly, can really help you bring home proper exposure. Learning to understand them should take about ten minutes; it ain't rocket-surgery. I'll even get you started... Luminous Landscape to the rescue!
