Hi all, I am not a photographer, or least wouldn't consider myself one yet. I offered to shoot a funeral for free even though I was offered money since it would be my first time. I have a 60D, 18-135 lens and a 50mm 1.4.
Is there any advice that can be offered? I am going to be borrowing a flash, which I assume will be a 580 exII. I was thinking about shooting in Av mode, and bouncing the flash where possible, if not off the ceiling, off a piece of paper or card. I have only ever shot with an external flash maybe twice, so it is still pretty new to me.
One thing I am unsure about is exposure compensation and if I should use that at all.
Thanks!
