turbodude: Hey question. What is your gear setup / camera settings when you are doing these redcarpet events.

I have done a few of my own and have not been too happy with my results. Unfortunately, since it is such a fast paced environment, I do not have the time to experiment with my settings in detail.

manual flash based on distance, underexpose the ambient light about 1 stop (normally its tugnsten), gel flash by 1/4 cto at a time if needed, and make sure you are vocal and make sure you think about your shots ahead of time. I use a d3s, 24-120 f4 VR, and sb910 on a bracket.

@xdmg, mainly i'm bouncing my flash at the roof tilted backwards two clicks, i don't know what angle that is, i think it might be 45? But sometimes i bounce it to the side of me, all depends on the situation :)

So I took your advice, bumped it up to 2500 iso, let the flash do ettl for me and set the shutter around "6-1" much faster and I wouldn't get the ambient light I was looking for. Anyways, I am very pleased with the results and glad I took your advice! :) Glad to have a forum like this that I can come to for help! Obviously I need more work, but this was my first time(I brought it one other time but barely got any shots because my batteries were practically dead and forgot extras! :() shooting with the 430ex( before I was shooting with the built in flash, god awful! ) C&C certainly welcomed! I want all the information I can take! These were all taken with the kit 18-55 and minimal post processing (some clarity / NR)

No problem. Well looks like you nailed it first go to be honest! If you feel you can not get more ambient in, just keep adding to your shutter till its about a stop under exposed. I vary depending on situation between 1/40 and 1/2 of a second for the "normal" shots. Just depends where I am facing in the bar essentially. Yeah the 430ex ii is a beauty, consider maybe an off shoe cord on your next trip?
Oh and an added bonus of high ISO is for every stop, you use half the flash battery power. I reel off maye 500 shots on ISO3200-6400 before I need to swap them sometimes.

One last thing I'd think and you'll be basically there (it is one I kick myself for as well...working on it!) is composition. A little much headspace on some of them...the guys on the sofa could have been framed a little tighter with heads in the upper 1/3 and maybe the group of girls could have a little less framing above theirs as well. Personal opinion though.
