Hi,
My wife's clinic had a back to school themed party & potluck. I was asked if I would take some fun "back to school" photos. I'm fairly new at strobes/flash so was a bit unsure about the setup. They were thrilled with the pictures, and in general I'm fairly happy with the results, but know there's a lot of room for improvement.
There was a mix of individual and group shots. How do you manage the lighting for shooting both individuals and groups without moving things around? I felt that with groups the people on the ends seemed a bit hot. How did I do with the light setup in general (I didn't use the speedlight that is at camera left by the background). I would've liked better separation & definition between the background and subjects so maybe I should've used the speedlight.
I shot the pics with a 24-105mm lens at 60-100mm depending on the group size (this particular shot of the group was at 60mm), 1/125, F6.3, iso 100.
Would love to hear any CC or suggestions.
Thanks, Mike.
