We are going to Magic Kingdom tonight to see the holiday lights and the Spectromagic light parade. I want to take good pictures without carrying a lot of equipment. It will be night, and I will be taking shots of lights and moving lights as well as shots around the park. Here's what I have:
Nikon D80 with three lenses:
AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 DX SWM ED
AF Nikkor 50mm 1:1.4 D
AF-S Nikkor 18-200mm 1:3.5-5.6 DX SWM VR ED IF
The latter is my preferred lens for walking around, but I only have the built-in flash, and the long lens casts shadows. The 50mm is best for low light and motion, but I also plan to take close-up shots, which the stationary lens doesn't allow for. The first lens is OK for regular use, but it's slow in low light. However, I'll be taking photos of lights, so will this compensate for the low light surroundings?
Two questions: What lens should I use, and on what settings? I need help as soon as possible on this one!
