Hi all
I need some practical advice to:
A) Stop what may be GAS
and
B) To ensure I take the right gear with me!
A friend has asked that I take informal photographs of a birthday party been held in a barn with a band playing in an open area outside. I said as I'm attending as a guest I'll do some photographs during the first hour then after that my gear is locked away and I can enjoy the party. The party is next month on an evening so some light at this time of year outside. The barn for the indoor bit is an old stone building with very little natural light.
I was thinking of only taking my16-55 2.8, 23mm 1.4 and maybe my 56mm. I also have a Nissin i40 flash (I rarely use!)
Will that be sufficient for the lighting keeping the shutter and ISO high ish? My GAS says buy the 50-140mm 2.8. My head says not needed.
Counseling and advice appreciated
I did this recently for a friend and took only an X100F and Flash, don't overthink, take one lens 16-55 (and the flash) would be a good choice, that will do everything you need without the hassle of taking extra kit and changing lenses etc. You are only taking pictures for an hour or so.
