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
