Help! Club/Bar photography

[Ballgirl]

Hi,

Not been on the forums in a while but today my boss has asked me to do some Photography on Thursday night at our company's new name launch party.

Its at a bar in Leeds so lens suggestions welcomed but given the lack of time I don't have chance to hire any lenses so will have to make do with what I've got. See signature below.

Good opportunity and gets me in the good books at work but never done anything of this sort before so any help greatly appreciated

I think there's quite a few threads on this sort of thing if you do search. That said, I think the usual advice is up the ISO, and use fast lenses, so your 50mm F1.8 should be a good bet? You'll need to keep your shutter speed up to avoid blurry pictures. If you could use a flashgun, that might be very useful?

a wider angle lens might be better if you could get one
bounce flash off a hopefully white ceiling will give diffusion and friendly lighting...
othewise..something i dont like..up the iso..which i believe isnt such a horror on the real dslr cameras...and let the cam set the lighting balance
even so some colour casting would add mood
dont forget the officers and staff...and the boss
and some exterior shots...
i shoot lavatories for fun..empty of course and clean
they are very architectural...and public...
