I was inspired by Smoke665 and his Christmas scene. The lights and sheet are hanging from an old projector screen. White blanket and fake snow for the base. I purchased a trigger, light stand, and umbrella about a year ago and haven't done much with them so all new to me. Light stand to the left and a white board to the right for bounce.
After much trial and error I did get this set with the pups. The LED lights wouldn't show up and googled that the shutter needs to be at 60. The other settings ISO200, f2.8 and the speed light at 1/8 power. Canon 5Dmarkiii, 50 1.4, 430EXii.
Normally I shoot with spot AF point, but using a tripod and shutter cable I used zone AF and One Shot. With the pups individually it worked. I will be taking photos of the 3 grands next together and with moving subjects and 2.8 concerns me. If I go with a greater DOF then the wires are visible.
Any suggestions on AF points or focus modes? Any tips would be appreciated thanks.
