Hi,
I'll be shooting in December for my graduation dinner, but the lighting will be quite low because of the location/occasion. The fastest lens I have is f/4. I'm thinking of using 400/800 film (maybe even 1600) and weaker fill flash because I don't want to use too much strong flash. Is this a better way of capturing the ambience (WYSIWYG), or should I use 100/200 film and blast the flash away instead?
I'm intending to have the negatives scanned, not printed, so the problem of grains won't be too apparent even if I used higher rating film, right?
On a side note, I read in previous posts that underrating the ISO on the camera gives better pictures, less grainy. How is this so?
TIA =)
