Halpppp me /p/
Ive got my first night club gig tomorrow night so I went out and rented a nikon sb-5000 for my d7000.
What would be the best settings to use this flash for nightclub shots of the guests.
I'll def be shooting mani without it for when I wanna get a lil artsy. I just never find myself using flash so Im a total noob. Please give me the crash course.
Pic related the kinda photos I normally take.

Set your flash into TTL position and your camera into AUTO mode.

First off, lol that OP pic.
Second, why did you take this gig if you have no idea how to shoot it?

Typically when I'm at a nightclub I don't like some shitty photographer flashing his flash in my face while I'm trying to get laid.
get a defuser you dont want it too bright.

Something like that will take the edge off the flash. Use a long exposure with the flash to get the streaky lights etc. Also, try to find a focal length you can hit each time so you can pre focus, auto focus searching is going to be a bitch and will probably lose you a few good shots.

Switch it to manual and set the flash with a few preliminary shots then stick to that. Remember the flash settings and switch on the strobe mode and set two strobes with half the settings or 4 strobes with 1/4th the settings over the exposure duration (preferably 1/30s or slower shutter speed to get funky multiple exposure shots. You can also experiment with front or rear curtain sync as well with a longer shutter speed to have funky long exposure with a frozen moment in the movement.
