Can i get away with using a 70-200 f4 and a 430exII

a club at my university has a staged performance show coming up this weekend and i volunteered to take photos for them.

I plan on shooting with the 50 1.8 and also the 70-200f4 along with a 430exII

could i get away with decent results?

heres an example of a performance on that stage I will be shooting from

If they allow flash, it would help, but usually even for the Peewee events, Flash is discouraged in a staged production as it ruins it for everyone else involved.

If the light is okay, you might survive @ f/4 and no flash with the ISO pushed to the max...

good point, didnt think about flash, I'll ask. never shot a staged performance before.

Looks like pretty decent lighting.

Don't use flash, it will kill the mood.

Use high ISO (1600 or more), lens wide open, and hope that you get a shutterspeed of above 1/125s. (if 70mm or IS lens) or 1/250s (minimum for 200mm, no IS)

Use tungsten WB, shoot Raw.

Have a read in a few of the threads below yours, and the FAQ.
