Quite surprisingly I am shooting a Diwali event tomorrow (learned about it today). It's sort of inofficial and I am not being paid for it but I would still like to do a good job (obviously). It's indoors and I don't know the location. I'll pack my Speedlight, my 85 mm f1/8 and my IS long lense and could use a few good hints, tips and tricks for the more experienced among you.
Thanks,
Tina

what is Diwali?
what type of camera do you have?
I would suggest bumping up the ISO quite a bit. On the micros we get used to thinking that ANY noise is horrible and it is to avoid at all costs - but blurry pictures are worse. A tripod is also very helpful even if you are moving the lens around a lot. Having the tripod head 'loose' still provides quite a bit of stability.

With almost any event you will need a wide angle lens. I'm assuming you are shooting 35mm so you're probably going to want to bring along another lens.
