I've just been asked to do some promo shots for a major rock band

tomorrow night before their gig. There are 4 of them, it will be in

their dressing room or other backstage area and I don't expect

lighting to be great.

Kit is Nikon F100, 17-35 f/2.8-4 or 28-70 f/2.8, Fuji NPZ 800 film,

SB28 flash. If the light is too dark to handhold without flash I

start worrying - I've only ever used the flash for slow sync in

concerts, but this needs to be simple static TTL fill flash, not slow

sync. If I want to work at f/4 for example, A mode gives wild weird

readings, so I have no clue how to set this up so that I get fill

flash into their faces without either blowing the highlights, or

reducing the background to a dark mess. P mode gives 1/60 at f/7.1

but I don't need that depth. Also, how to angle the flash head!?!??!?!

I can't mess this up - this is a one off chance and I have no time or

opportunity to run test rolls...

Please help!!! I'm panicking!!!!
