I'm not "shooting" the event, just attending. Taking the daughter to Disney on Ice, in an arena, so it'll be dark except for the ice rink and the occasional flashes from stage effects.
I don't want to take my whole bag, which will mean I'll have to leave a few lenses at home. I have a Canon t5i.
I have the following lenses:
Nifty 50
18-55mm
55-250mm
10-18mm wide angle
75-300mm (no IS)
I'm probably going to be sitting about 50-75 yards back from the show. I'd like to get shots of the performers, as well as of the wife and daughter who will obviously be closer. I'll bring the 50, but at this distance in this type of lighting environment, would it be pretty pointless to bring anything else? I won't be able to bring a tripod either.
I'm thinking I'd have to turn ISO way up. Would changing the meter to spot help in this situation where the spotlight will be on the characters? Any other tips or suggestions?
