Hi
This is my first post so don't kill me if I screw up. I've been reading tons of info on settings/methods etc and am still getting mixed messages on the shutter speed.
1) If I'm shooting in 60i should I try and keep the shutter speed at 1/60 whenever possible? ie for the sun shots - and it's going to be very sunny today - using the ND filters before upping the shutter speed, assuming the iris is already as closed as it can get
2) indoor zoo parts - shooting still at 1/60 as much as possible and going down to 1/30 before using too much grain - I've tested 12 and it doesn't look good so I'd probably never go to that unless unavoidable
3) stick with Steve's vividgrb setting for both the indoor and outdoor shots. It certainly works well outdoors in what I've tested.
4) stick with manual or maybe TV (shutter locked at 1/60) for some of the sections that have light and dark throughout so the aperture can adjust on the fly (which is handy but visually can be jarring at times from what I've tried)
Any thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking of bringing the tripod if they don't have issue with it. The monopod as a last resort which I'm finally getting slightly better with - if I don't breathe.
