1/20 should be slow enough

did you get any ambient light at those sort of settings?? Most weekends i shoot around ISO 800-1250 at f/2.8I shot in a nightclub twice so far trying to figure out settings. (before I read this article)
I was able to shoot ISO 100 F4 .5sec (rear synch)
They turned out pretty darn good. My question is, if I bump up the ISO to say 800, does that mean my flash won't have to work as hard? Would I need to adjust anything else? (flash was set to TTL)
Thanks,
Jon

Frazz said:Some good tips! I'm thinking of taking up nightlife photography. How did you get into it?
RMaynardPhoto said:Slow Syncs are amateur hour. Shoot at over 1/100th, dont even 2nd curtain, run a low aperture and get wide as possible. Dont put up unflattering regular photos, it just makes you unpopular.

Rico said:I think it was the way he expressed his opinion, rather than the opinion itself, that people have issue with.
nano said:I thought the two replies after RMaynards were worse tbh, but it shouldn't matter.
Photographers as a bunch tend to get hung up on pro and amateur so perhaps his use of the phrase was poor but here you have a low post count member who is offering constructive advice and an on topic tip… who hasn't been back since
If I did nightclub stuff I'd do it quite differently to the methods in OP, doesn't mean the OP is wrong, doesn't necessarily mean I'd be right either, but it shouldn't be seen as even a minor slight to anyone who does follow the OPs guide

All the images are still there in my media list on wordpress and linked into the blog post still, but are just not showing for some reason.
Fingers crossed it's just wordpress having a wibble moment and all will be back.
So as you can imagine, suffered numerous problems! Could barely see the crowd in my view-finder. Hardly any room to get about, crap lighting.
Wide lens and get close.
Just remember that smoke is a physical barrier, the less of it between you and your subject,t he less it will affect you.
