hey guys...need some help here. just some background here, i've used a d90, 50D and also compact cameras before. I also know all the common photography terms already.

now here's the dilemma. I've been asked to be the photographer for my skool's charity dinner event which will be held in sunway hotel. that probably means, very low light + orange lights.
the thing is, the only gear that i'm provided is just a nikon d60 with 18-55mm lens and NO external flash.

so any quick tip/crash course so that i can get at least some usable shots? any ways to diffuse the pop-up flash and etc?

what would you guys do in such situations?

can diffuse so many way the pop up flash but my fav still using the film can. white color one. tongue.gif

adjust the WB wud be ok. use the pop up flash + diffuser to light up the face.

btw, why not using ur own speedlight? it help u a tons

tbh with u guys....the thing "good skills + no gear" applies here.

i was thinking manual K WB. that would solve the tungsten problem.

the other prob is, shortie lens, 55mm and i'm left with f/5.6.

speedlight not available. haihhh...pop-up flash only lights foreground. bg all left in the dark.

iso performance of D60 also =.= mannn...this is hard

back to basix,
better with small DOF rather then noise,
better with noise rather then blur image,
better with blur rather then no image.

D60 got Kelvin meh? didn know dat.

55m is not a problem. just compensate it with more walking

F5.6? used to be no problem when i was first start DSLR

with limited gears, dnt expect u can get same result with ur own gears.

quite true. aperture largest only 3.5 at 18mm. zoom a bit to 50mm, it's already f/5.6

i dont mind 55 coz it's almost like 50mm. but the point is, f/5.6 in such dark lighting is like  sweat.gif  sweat.gif  shakehead.gif

back to basix lo. forget about the noise, jack up the ISO until 1600, use pop up flash with FV value around -0.7 - -1.7 according to the condition.
seti aperture to 5.6 coz afraid might burn other pict when u take picture fast2. i thnk u can use 1/60 or 1/50 SS. just need to know and wait the moment.
overall, u might not getting great picture but if u can get the picture is better then dark image. smile.gif

Guys, just asking for your thought.

Is it worth it to upgrade to D90 from my D3000 for now? Coz now the price is about RM3.4k for a D90 if i'm correct. If I buy a D90 then I don't think I will upgrade anytime soon.

Feel like selling my D3000 with kitlens + 55-200mm and buy D90 with kitlens + 50mm f1.8. How much will I probably have to topup?

What do you guys think?

if u asking me, yes it is worth. D90 got alot more feature to say and trust me, it more friendlier then D3k. smile.gif IMO, D90 is in its class alrdy.

D3k VS 1000D @ 450D
D5k VS 550D
D300s VS 50D
D90 VS ??? (in between 550D and 50D) tongue.gif
