BONUS TIP: Getting Better low light performance from your Crop Sensor Camera
One of my favorite tricks is find the exposure that looks good, so lets say "Aperture - f2 Shutter Speed - 1/80 ISO3200" bring the ISO down to 1600 so all of your photos are 1 stop underexposed. Make sure you're shooting in RAW and then bring the photos into Lightroom. Your computer has more processing power than your camera does so let Lightroom work on the photo for you. Raise the exposure up half a stop, and then raise the shadows until your happy with the exposure. Then to finish it off go down to "Noise reduction" and slowly increase the levels until the photo is less grainy! But remember a little grain is good and I wouldn't worry about it unless your clients bring up how grainy it is.
