The situation:
A large room with hundreds of people enjoying a function.
The task is to record this event taking shots of individuals, couples and groups
Available light is high, harsh and weak (tungsten)
To shoot with the available (unflattering) light would require 1/15, ISO 800 and f2.8 (at one end of the room with even less light at the other end).
Even with a D3 that can shoot at high ISO without flash the high harsh light source creates horrible unflattering shadows which must be suppressed
Additional lighting is a must. Lots of alcohol is being consumed and you have an hour before people (and the room) start to look the worse for wear.
You must deliver at least 80 different images after unsatisfactory poses are deleted
(i.e. images only get deleted for aesthetic rather than technical reasons)
The fee is low, environment challenging and expectations from the client are high.
How do you ensure that your exposure is such that zero effort is required to correct images to a satisfactory standard?
