Any tips on settings?
good Lord
depending on what the event is… and how much available light… u might be in for some major problems…
What camera and lenses are you using for this event? And why is flash not an option?
Can you use a small LED light? f4 is going to struggle big time… invest in a f1.8 or lower if possible.
And you’re being paid for this?
Don’t be afraid of high ISO.
Cool! 35mm 1.4 lens, Ilford Delta 3200 @ 1600 or HP5 pushed to 1600 is what I would go for. Hope they like grain!
Don’t be afraid of ISO! Its usually better to expose properly by using high ISO in the first place than bringing up exposure later noise wise. Also, use sth like Topaz AI Denoise, LR Ai Noise Reduction etc to safe ur ass. And, lastly, pay attention to the light and whitebalance.
