I'm wanting to set up a small studio "area" in my wife's wedding venue to do shots of the grandkids and their moms and dads like on Sunday afternoon when they come over. Just an impromptu portrait shoot so the lighting equipment has to be portable because I'll have to take it down when they leave.
I'm going to be shooting with my Mamiya 645 and a Nikon SB26 speed light and an umbrella or softbox or a couple of floods and umbrellas. I'm not really worried about the results from the floods, because I will be able to see how the light falls on the subject. If I use the little flash and a softbox, how can I tell what my results will be without waiting two weeks or longer for the film to be returned from the processor? Could I set one of the floods up as a type of modeling light? I have a Minolta IVF light meter also.
Any and all help will be appreciated. I would also welcome advice on a small lighting set-up anyone would recommend for this situation. Thanks
