The lighting you describe is not great especially with the lenses you have to use. The 18-55mm is the best one for this situation. I would use the SB600 flash. I would use the flash wide angle diffuser, it pulls out from the top of the flash head and drops down in front. I would also snap on the light diffuser that came with it. Use auto white balance. Check the users manual for flash settings. If you don't have time to get into what settings to use set the mode dial on Auto and let the camera make the exposure. I would set the people at least three feet or more in front of the fire place. Otherwise you will get flash shadows behind them. Hope this helps.</p></blockquote><p></p>
