| ->> I will be shooting a candlelight vigil this Sunday for three boys who died in a drowning accident in Fremont. I have shot 2 or 3 of these in the past but thought I'd check to see if anybody had any tips to offer. Thanks in advance |

->> -Move slowly
-Use your largest aperture lenses to shoot only natural light
-Show your concern and empathy in the way you walk, talk, act
-Dress as you would for covering a memorial or a funeral, it will go a long way towards your credibility.
-Choose your shots carefully -- nothing gets people pissed more than thinking you are taking advantage of the situation.
-Start from afar and move in closer as you read the situation; if people are comfortable with your presence move in closer.
-Get names, and if they seem to be okay talking to you, ask why they are there -- sometimes you can get a lot of insight into the situation this way. |

->> I agree with all of Daniel's suggestions.
May need to use manual settings. I've used a monopod for Vespers and similar services in the past. Good luck. |
