Behind The Scenes at Fashion Week
I'll be doing my first Fashion Week event assignment. I'll be doing behind the scenes at a number of shows and it can go from very dark to somewhat bright in the working areas. I'm looking for advice as likely not to shoot in manual oh, & I know things will be going pretty fast. I'll be using a 600 X and right now I have a large roguebender. Ill likely have two bodies- a 501.4 on a 5d3and a 35f2 on a 6D (6d high iso should rock here especially)
In these kind of situations with no backlight, is it good to keep the flash set upward and the road with the roguebender and on ETTL? With lighting like that I will tend to keep the camera on Av + 640iso unless there's plenty of light in a given situation. There will also be step and repeat walls but I don't expect many of those especially inside.
I'll be using second shutter sync since the flash will be on camera, and portrait shots I'll keep to a minimum I'm thinking because the rogue bender is really not that great for portrait images.
TTL has been very miss more than it for me and I'll have limited or no ability to test beforehand Even thinking about gary fong tupperware.
All advice from those experience in these situations is highly appreciate it.
+++- Is compact flash better for burst photos? Ive tried a couple of servo burst situations and ive gotten about one sec out of i before it slows down. I use sdxc cards, usually about 40MB write speeds.
Thx
