Nikon D40 Photo Advice

People at the Office found out about my new camera and they want me to bring it to the Work Christmas Lunch tomorrow. Does anyone have any advice for settings or any tips and tricks that could help me get good photos?

The Lunch is at a restaurant in Manchester, its got pub-style lighting and will be at dinnertime so there will be an amount of natural light. I think the general colour scheme is browns and dark yellows…

Any advice at all appreciated… :book:

is looking at 3d Nirvana hehe…
