I am going to my niece's baptism this weekend and I want to take some pictures.
What settings should I use inside of a church? and outside of the church.
The baptism's going to be at 12:00pm.

Thanks

What camera do you have?

IBTNikon

Yes, it's a Nikon D3000 and I only have a 18-55mm lens.

 

[wardzach2007]

Do you have a detachable flash?

 

[arman14]

No I don't

 

[wardzach2007]

What's the F stop on your 18-55? Is it above 3?

 

[arman14]

F3.5-5.6

F3.5-5.6

If you have enough light then it will still be tricky for indoors.

I hate using the on camera flash because it sucks. But if you're doing it for memories, I would just use it.

If you were getting paid for it, I would rent a flash.

I'm not getting paid
Should I shot in auto?

If you want to shoot in Auto go ahead but your outcome may lack a good outcome.

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't.

What settings should I use then?
