My wife is about to give birth to our first child in a couple of weeks (it's a girl, and yes, we're very excited... :D )
I would like to take photos in the hospital, but flash photography is a no-no for my wife, and I don't think that the hospital will be too happy about it also.
I have a Canon 10D and currently using the Canon EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens. I don't have time to get an additional lens until the big occasion, and as I said, flash is out of the question (I've got the Canon Speedlite 420EX).

Considering the fact that light conditions will probably be poor (Neon light or less), I would appreciate any tips you could give me about taking good photos with this gear, and without using a tripod.


Thanks...

Bite the bullet and shoot at ISO 400 or better 800. B&W will be more dramatic, and will cover some of the grain issues.

And, Congratulations! :)
