how close are you to the action?
does the event allow any flash?
I can shoot anywhere I like in the event. And also, flash will allow.
Hi all,
Merry Christmas!!
I have one question. I would like to take photos of an indoor event photo. It will held in a hall at NUS.Which kind of lens do I need to use? Do I need an external flash?
Now, I have 18-55 lens, and 55-250 lens.
Then I would suggest you get a flash, your 18-55mm lens would do the job just fine but need to learn your settings!
Okay..Thank you! Should I buy 50mm f1.8 II?
You should get an external flash instead of the 50mm
Okay.. Which flash will be better for me?
what event is it?
Talent show, Theatre, Dance or someone on stage talk talk and talk............?
U can use your 18-55 but for sure u will need flash to assist on your indoor lighting..
if its an important event, try renting 17-55 f2.8 with a flash.. 430 ex II will do.. for indoor event, lighting is very important.. esp if its a play or dance, u need faster exposure.. there's where ur flash and f2.8 kicks in..
Hope this help..
That depends how huge the hall is. You have a decent setup of lenses, a 18-55 for wide angle shots like group photo. And a 55-250 for capturing a far away shot. Also, it be nice if you have a second body. You may not have enough time to change lenses.
A flash would be a good to have, but do get a flash with TTL functions, that will save you lots of hassle throughout the whole event. I shot events for a couple of times, my favorite tool when I am using flash is the L Bracket.
