Digital portraits at an ice rink I'm going to be doing some portraits of a skater at an ice rink soon. I've got a Canon Digital Rebel XT. Any suggestions on lighting, White Balance, ISO, aperature and flash? I usually shoot on "P", and auto white balance with my Speedite flash for my outdoor shots, which has worked well, but this scenario poses some new challenges. mary

Indoor sports are an extremely hard thing to shoot! My son races motocross and it is just terrible! The key is a very nice speedlite and a very very fast lens. Since your subject will not move quite as fast as a motocross bike you might have some luck. You will need a lens with at least a 2.8 . I don't know if you have shot many fast moving subjects but I would recommend the sports setting. This setting will follow/track your subject it really seems to be the only way to catch the action that I have found on very fast moving subjects. The light and speed will be the main issues so if you have access to a very powerful speedlite then you should be ok. Hopefully they will not dim the lights during the action!! :o)

200? 400? Flash will set automatically. I wasn't happy with my hockey shots. Grainy and not real sharp. Probably should have had it on the sports mode, and not P. Thanks for your input.
