Hi there. I hope this is in the right area of the forum.

I have been asked to take photos for an event at a club next month. I need to take photos of the costumes people are wearing and capture the feel of the mood in the club.

Problem is, i've never taken low-lit shots before. I was wondering if in order to take good quality shots, I would need to buy an additional flash opponent. I don't like using the flash that is attached to the camera, but I don't know how i'll be able to do this otherwise.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what settings, or what extra elements I need in order to take photos in a relatively low-lit club?

any help would be greatly appreciated!
