[QUOTE="claudia, post: 513042, member: 41208"] Hi everybody, I'm new to this site and already grateful for any tips you might be able to give me. I own a Nikon D800 and love doing portraits. The school I work for uses some of my pictures for the website and other publications. I have taken pictures of plays for example in the past. My problem is that they have now "recruited" me to shoot a dance recital. It's hard for them to understand what a different type of photography that is . . . Anyway, I'm doing it and I have been getting some conflicting advice as to what setting would be best to use. I don't feel comfortable doing it on manual because as I said, I am not familiar with this type of photography and there are just too many variables. Somebody who works at the store where I purchased my camera told me to shoot on shutter priority. Somebody else said aperture priority. I called Nikon and they said go manual . . . You get the idea. So while I know that I am opening myself up to the same issue here, if you have experience with dance photography (low light, lots of movement, no flash allowed), I would really appreciate any tips! Thanks a million Sincerely, Claudia [/QUOTE]
