yeah , flash wih the softbox or use the bounce card + slow sync + mid high ISO (400-640?) might help i think ..

its probably not that different from shooting in a club

dont forget to do some test shots smile.gif

Thread Starter 
Thank you all for your help.

I ended up just using my 24-50 F/2.8. I used manual at 1600 iso (as high as my old camera goes) F/2.8 and 1/40.
Wow focus was tough to get, making me miss a few shots, but i still got quite a few.

My friend used his D7000 with his 24-70 F/2.8. It caught focus a lot faster (when using the center focus point only) 1/60 with 3100 iso.

The pictures were quite grainy and a bit dark, but it was easy to PP and raise the exposure about 1/2 of a stop.I then used Nik Define 2.0 and wow, it really cleaned up the image with only losing a little sharpness. better than i could do with my limited experience through Camera raw noise reduction).

we did a few with flash and a warming gel, (set quite low). they turned out well, but we lost too much of the black light effect.

The pictures did turn out looking like the "club effect", but i like them.

This is what I was getting at -- use unique lighting to your advantage. thumb.gif
