I have a nikon d3000.i will be using a 18-50 lens and a 75-300 lens.i shoot in RAW
There is a Big concert tomorrow and people will be dressed in outfits ect.
I live in florida.here is a link of my weather for tomorrow.http://puu.sh/2vtwD
I noticed when i take pictures sometimes outside or at the beach my pictures are pretty dark, or
my subject is darker then i wanted it to be. I use Spit metering so i dont get that part.
I thought with spot metering it will meter the light on my subject
(i understand how the cameras metering works thinking the work dis 50% grey)
i usually shoot in Aperture mode, between f5 or f13 if i want more or less of a blurred bg,
with spot metering and spot focus.
I usually i put it in auto mode, see the settings and go into manual and tweak it after a test shot or 2 but its hard to do this at a concert due to i have to see shots fast and snap them.
i don't have a external flash for a fill in light.should use the built in one for fill in? If so how do i get it to not be over exposed without being in full manual? I like manual but not in events because i have ti sometimes take pictures on the spot! Also doesnt having the flash on mess with the metering?
i want to take about a few hundred pictures tomorrow.close up of peoples costumes and some shots of the people on stage. i would like some advice on settings i should change or what i should use from people who have more experience in this kind of situation.
Before people talk about the manual i have it.and know the setting in the camera.im just asking advice on better understand the settings in different this siutation incase i go out there and my normal settings in aperture mode inst working.
