Title: Shooting a pub at night
Post by: Regnis on July 14, 2009, 08:10:47 AM
hi guys

I have been asked by my boss at the pub i work at to take some photos for the new brochure. I am very much an amature but really want to do this and hopefully do it well. I was thinking of taking some shots during the day and some shots at night, as the pub has some nice intimate lighting and is surrounded by nice vegetation as well.

I was just after some tips. I am still very much an amature and am not totally sound which apature, ISO, sutter speed, lenses etc that i should be using.

I have a 40d
my lenses include
-canon 70-200mm f4L
-canon 28 prime
-canon 28-105
i guess i will def need a tripod which i plan on getting tomorrow

Any tips would be fantastic

Cheers
Regnis

I would use the prime, push the ISO as high as it will go and start shooting in the natural light - especially if there is a fireplace.

The chroma noise might actually add to the atomsphere of the piece and movement blur will add some action to the shot.

Alternately, you can use whatever lens you have that has the largest aperture and IS.
