Indoor flash help needed, Nikon???
Thanks in advance! I'm not a strobist, and need help!
I'm using a Nikon D50, and have been asked to take some photos of high school wrestling.
1) flash: I don't have a external unit, so I am considering sb-400 and sb-600. Since the gym ceilings are so high, I am assuming bouncing off them is no help. I'm not getting paid for this, so I don't want to go spend alot of $$$, but I want it to be decent. Is a speed light going to be much better than the on-camera flash? (I will be at the mat, which is 40' wide - so most shots will be w/in 20')
Also, if I do get an external, should I buy or build a bounce card?
2) off the flash topic, but: if i were to try to sell reprints to parents, what are the legal issues
a) if it is a cropped shot of only the 1 person (who may or not be a minor)
b)if someone else (ref, other wrestler) is in the pic)
3) I want some of the pics to be mostly black and white, but some color, how do I do that????? (just kidding)
I don't think any of your flash's are going to be much help here. Bounce only works well for nice enclosed spaces with low (<10') ceilings.
You could point the flash right at the wrestlers, but you might be the one pinned!
You're probably looking at a natural light situation, so you are either going to need a fast lens or bump the ISO on your camera up.
I'd set my camera on aperture priority at the largest aperture possible (That is, the smallest number). That way you can use some fast shutter speeds and really capture the action.
Ideally, you need a nice sports lens, but that'll run you thousands of dollars. If you want to invest in a good cheap lens to get low light shots then I'd recommend this one.

Good luck
