[QUOTE="naja, post: 11053, member: 3478"] Shoot in Raw - you can then adjust the white balance after the shoot if it is wrong. I tend to go for the white balance that is strongest if it is mixed lighting, and that sounds like fluorescent they way you have described it. The lens should be ok, but I can see you wanting a slightly longer focal length in time, if things go the way you hope they will (and I hope they will too for your sake). Maybe think about a monopod, although the VR will help a lot if the light is low. The on camera flash will not give you that much light, even if you over flash it, so an external would be a good idea. ALthough I have praised the SB900 and SBO800 in other articles, the Metz is also a great gun and gives you good off the camera position with ease of control. Try some large aperture shots too, to isolate the subject from the background, it often works well. You will get other really good advice from people more experienced in this type of photography, cricket is my love and it is a bit slower and done in a lot more light! Use the training session to practise to start with, as your friend improves, so will you. I am sure you will make a great team [/QUOTE]
