[QUOTE="arsalann24, post: 477764, member: 9446"] Hey everyone, So I've been tasked to help shoot at a party for my aunt tomorrow and I'm a little nervous. I'd like to say I'm decent but not amazing. It's good enough to where the people who want the pictures think I am really good. Just some background on the equipment I have: D5100 35mm f1.8 lens (this is my goto lens) 18-55mm Kit Lens 55-300mm f4.5/5.6 Lens Insignia TTL Flash ([COLOR=#49494A][FONT=Arial]NS-DXFL2N) It comes with a bounce card, do I need diffuser?? [/FONT][/COLOR]Ok, so the party is going to be indoors, it is pretty well lit.The place has beige colored walls, we are looking to have close to 150 ppl at the party. I plan on taking portraits and plenty of group shots of people on a stage and of people sitting on their tables eating, etc. With the external flash I'm thinking I should be good to go. I'll be pointing the flash up and not directly on the subject I'm shooting, I'm hoping the bounce card will help as well. After reading some of the forums on here it looks like somewhere around 400 ISO I should be good. I'm think I'll be in "A" mode. I'll take a few test shots when I'm there but do I need anything else or am I forgetting anything?? I think I'm just nervous because I haven't done something of this scale, and I want to do my best. If there's any advice, comments, questions that you have for me I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, do you guys think that the 35mm is good for the whole party or do you think I should change it up?? Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
