I'm going to be taking some shots of my family this weekend. I've checked and sunset is 5:38. So question 1 is in November, how close to 5:30 will I most likely to be able to shoot? I'm thinking I should start at 3:30 to be sure that the photos in the covered bridge have enough light.
I've scouted the location we're going to take pictures and taken some quick snapshots to test the backgrounds. I've made a basic list of shots I want to take in different locations to make sure I don't forget to take a picture of my daughter by the creek for example. I'm planning to have 2 camera bases set up - My 5d and my rebel t4i. I'm planning to use my 85 mm lens and the 70-200mm lens.
I have a fill flash, a tripod and I've practiced with my remote so I can be in a couple of shots as well. What else should I think about before hand?
Obviously these are my family photos, so noone is paying me for these. I'm both excited and nervous about it. But I know that I calm down when I've planned things out.
Any additional tips for me. We'll be working fast with a 2 year old and 3 year old.
