Yes, im going to 1u to shoot a fashion show which is on tomorrow. Im brining my bro's 350D and his 430EX along to shoot. Im wondering, what is the normal setting for the flash and the camera? should i just go "P" all the way or play with the aperture with a fixed shutter speed setting? im confused about how the camera and flash play along the way.

Any sifus here knows how to fix this problem? Yeah i will only bring the kit lens along and the E-500 and the 40-150 telephoto lens too

eh you must understand that the fashion show is held at the Oval, which has a transparent roof (whatever you call that).

so going there at noon and at night, the lightings are different. then there's the light setup around the area.

then of course, your positioning and stuff.

i would suggest you go earlier and test out the settings.

i did my shots without flash. 350D as well, not so nice position too. just go earlier la and plan out what kind of shots you want.

adjust white balance? i m not sure bout 350D has the Kelvin setting or not.. if not.. then try to adjust to the correct white balance to prevent yellowish..

correct me if i m wrong

good luck

goldfries: the shoot is at night right? im thinking of going there earlier too, jsut to get the right position and do the settings right.

mememe12: I know how to set the white balance already cuz im brining a "grey card" along, just trying to get the white balance right(well, at least try to get it right). just that i really dont know how to work the flash and the cam together. That's why i pop this question.

oo.. then i not sure d sorry bro.. i using SB-800 and just shoot only not really know in-depth.. keke..

good luck to u..

eh hello, it starts from noon la.

haha thanks, i hope i have the luck to get them right


oh i didnt know about that, crap la got class at 3 to 6 =/ hope there's still some during the night haha...

skip classs oniiiiiiiiiiiii!
haha!
all the best to you.

walao XD dont poison me on doing that lah ahaha

last week went there at 8pm. still can shoot. butt he lighting is a bit crazy. sometimes well lighted, sometimes not

haha then should be no problem yeah i know about that, i think ill just put to "P" and with the flash and shoot only lo XD

If you put to P mode, your shutter is automatically set to 1/60.

What lens are you using with the 350D and it's aperture range?

and when did i posted the time table for the fashion show?

i used M mode without flash.

yeah, it's like disco.

the lights are not consistent. after observing a while, i noticed that there are some spots where they light up the model's face the most, some spots they're really dark.

so take note of the lights when the show starts and snap when they're around the correct spot, that should give you better lighting.

those with flash shouldn't have a problem i think, or at least lesser problem that us without flash.

using kit lens only if i put aperture to 8?


i nv said u did XD

thanks for the tip, have to really examine the whole stage i think haha...

Rad, sorry about the post cos actually there's supposed to be a link on my reply but i forgot to post after writing the rest.

what i meant was to hint / tell you - WHEN did i post the time table for the fashion show? together with this link http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/434135

get what i'm saying now?

so WHEN did i post the time table for the fashion show? about a week ago. you missed that huh? hehe.

use Manual mode.

8?the aperture opening is smaller which reduced the amount of light into your sensor.

I just you'll just have to be content with P mode

oh i see, sorry then, its my bad

yeah i missed it out, cuz mainly i dont shoot fashion show, its not my interest, but after my gal told me its good for my practice, then why not? that's why i came out with this thread.

Thanks for the link

yeah i know, just trying, i think i have to use a fix 5.6 aperture =/

or yeah, only P mode

hey just wanna stop by and wish you luck on the shoots ! brings back beautiful photographs !

try each P, AV, TV, M mode la...

Well, 1st time doing this so hope i can bring some good ones back


hmmm, i rarely use tv mode, some more indoors le, is it suitable? ill stick to M, P, and Av only

so rad, did you go?

yeah i did, took around 1gb space of shots, I brought two cam, my E500 and my bro's 350d, was happy shooting with the E500 at 1st, but it failed me when the battery flat out halfway o_O so i have to stick with the 350d without a good telephoto will post them pics soon

i saw someone carrying an Olympus bag. i donno if that was you.

i took a few GB of shots too.

nah, im using a canon back pack and the worst is i found a very good spot, i manage to climb up to that black stage for those photographers if u notice, im the one with the striped shirt.

why would you need to try every mode? they all operate with the same basics in mind, Manual mode would cover all of it, it's about how much you understand your camera.
