I was exactly in the same situation as yours last month. I had to shoot a fashion show. I used ISO100 NPS and ISO 400 NPH. Shot on manual mode (f4, 1/150) with canon speedlite 550EX. Wide angle shots did not come out well because eventhough the flash could cover the area, it could not decide how much was enough; it was partly due to the dark curtain they had in the background. Most successful shots were from 70-200L lens where I tried to take relatively close-up shots. Also, to advise, do not be in the first row because the perspective of models you will get will be unnatural. Instead, back off and use larger focal length with stronger flash units. If you want to be fancy, you could set up radiocontrolled softboxes on the side of the stage/ramp and from top. hope this helps, achal see my poor attempt at www.stanford.edu/~achal > I'm shooting a local fashion show next week.
