Hi Guys thanks for the comments so far,
Poppy is very grateful she is just a bit annoyed that the make up artist didn't turn up.

The camera i used was a nikon D300s With a sigma 18mm-50mm lens, the cameras ISO was turned right up to the max, and i just used the tank lights

Thanks guys any other questions just ask

Yeh would like a D3 but the only real advantage to me is the fact that you can use high ISO without getting noise but can't warent the price just for that yet :(
Saying that the D300s is better than my D2Xs for noise

have you used a d3 in a proper situation -

i used the works one hand held in a dark and dingy theatre - shooting from the back of the theatre with a 300mm lense and the results were spectacular - i just wish i had one myself

No i haven't had the chance, I used to do work for a theatre company but when the recession hit they tightened there budget, if i was still doing work for them i think i would have brought the D700 or the D3s rather than the D300s but oh well.

well i got the d300 after the company bought the d3 - as i couldnt afford the d3, for most things the d300 is great - but like i said the d3 comes into its own in low light

we have settings way higher than that - most normal cameras go up to 3200 - ours have a h.03 , h.07, and h1 setting

When I put my camera into "P" or program mode I get ISO choices from 100 ~ 1600 :(
