btw, for baptism church, say i'm allowed flash (tho i might try to go without on babies), hmm, shutter speed at 1/60 should be fast enough to freeze motion right? motion blur is always an issue bah. intend to use only my 24-105, church light condition not too bad, quite bright. flash should be using bounce card (self made).

f/4, 1/60, ISO 400/800?

Flash auto, -1 FEV

think i should go earlier to test some shots hor? :embrass:

The baptism is done indoors?

Main subjects of a baptism is the baptising pastor and the person being baptism. If lighting is good, can just use the natural lighting.

I would say, use f/4, 1/100 to 1/125 (freeze motion without use of flash), ISO 400 on Center Weighted metering.

And usually the motion is very fast. Use burst mode for each baptising candidate and pick the best moments. I know it's tedious choosing at the end but it's the best way to have all the best moments.

all current models of dslr are capable of low noise at high ISO, so use it.
dont restrict yourself to only ISO400.

ah.. there's another shifu speaking ;p

guess its really good to go early to test shoot a bit. familiarity of the place helps i guess. just have to jostle with alllll the other people shooting though i'm the official photographer tomorrow :sweat: (imagine, *flash**flash**flash**flash**flash**flash*) non stop :sweat:

 

[RyuHendrabusa]

Yea. But tmr gotta lug that tele lens to return it.

Talking about it. It's AF speed definitely outperform what I had expected. The sharpness is also another :thumbsup:. Power of L but I'm not buying that lens. Haha! :bsmilie:

Yeah, I was damn impressed with the AF too

 

[xhui]

why -1FEV? :think:

orh, shrug, last when i shot at my church event, always over exposed, or subject super white w harsh shadows behind! terrible siah. pek chek, so kind of automatic -1 now :bsmilie:

Use manual to control.

Church lighting is very tricky. Although I shoot at ISO1600 all the time in church services becos no flash allowed, when need to use flash ah, everything goes haywire.

a cousin of my friend (not pro, 1st timer on dslr, crash course 1wk before shooting) used the below setting for the whole wedding dinner, photos turn out better than the AD. 1/60, ISO800, f/4, flash auto + bounce.

woah! serious! hmm. i kindof tested and "estimated" 1/60 should be the least speed i need to achieve to freeze motion bah. its the lighting that's frustrating :bsmilie: cuz its not constant as they have many different portions of lighting/floodlights/dimmers etc. drove me nuts!

also goto think fast on feet where to position myself (ahead of all the others!) to capture that shot! :sweat:

wonder if i can ever do events siah. :bsmilie:

Jimmy. Thanks for your 70-200. One photo for you and your lens. Sharp from head to tail.

f/4, ISO400, 1/100 on Center Weighted Average metering.

Only digitally fill flash was done and this is 100% crop. :thumbsup:
