Tips for photos in a smaller rave/dj set on Canon R8?
So I recently updated to a Canon R8. I usually shoot protest photography/action shots and street photography, along with some portraits. I do also shoot a lot of musicians and gigs, however they're usually well lit either on stage or in the recording studio. The majority of my photos are in the day, or outside in the evening/night. I don't typically shoot at night in dark settings too much. However, my brother is a DJ and I'm doing some photos for a gig this weekend. It'll be a smaller venue, I want to get to mainly focus on the different DJs but I'd like to get some good shots of the crowd. I've played around with long exposure a bit and really like it, I've got some good pictures but my new camera has a lot more capabilities in that range that I haven't experimented with much. I do have an external flash (Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT). for lenses I have the nifty 50, the EF 70-300 zoom and the EFS 18-55 (I have the adapter for R8 so the lenses work also).
Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for things to focus on or anything like that? I upgraded from the Rebel T5 to the R8 and the R8 can do a lot more, especially with limited light but I'm still a bit intimidated.
Thank you!! :D
Also, just in case anyone suggest gear, I don't really have the money or the time before the show to go out an buy any new gear unless it's pretty inexpensive and I can get it in store where I live. So if anyone has advice for the gear I do have now, I'd really really appreciate it!
