Looking for Photography Tips Online  
I've been struggling with event photography, specifically how best to take photos without flash in a darkened room and somewhat okay stage lighting. I've tried Googling various combinations of keywords such as, "Tutorial Primer Photography Low Light Event," and haven't yet hit the sort of help a total newbie needs. Any suggestions for online resources?

Also, any recommendations on monopods? Christmas & birthday time is coming up and I need to put the toys I want on there so that I don't end up with a fifth copy of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

Ooooo...thank you for the recommendation! I've already ordered it.

I love that Amazon has the table of contents available - chapters 4-7 look like exactly what I want. I'm not in this for business purposes but I'm lucky enough to have gained extensive copyright experience with photography when I was a museum lackey.

My digital camera claims to have ISO up to 800 but I've found anything more sensitive than 100 introduces unacceptable noise. Thank you for the 1/30" suggestion. I know I have issues with this but I never knew around what speeds to be playing with. I practice on still objects, generally, and they're far more forgiving.

I have a Sony DSC-828, so it isn't an SLR. I have no idea whether it restricts light as I zoom in but that's a VERY good thing to know. I'll play around with zoom, too.

Thanks for recommendation and the info!
