SLR camera settings for nightclubs and low light venues

Aug 8, 2009 by Paul White

One of my clients will be doing a promotion at Reign Lounge here in Houston.  Normally I wouldn't give this much thought, but as I was googling for content online, I came across some rather negative reviews of the place.  Granted there were some positive reviews as well, but they didn't have the same impact as the negative ones.
