High Ceiling Event. Need recommendation/opinion?

[Shardulmahida]

Hi everyone I am new to this so just bear with me. I have been to this site for many and many recommendation, but now I am stuck with this question and can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I have an event at temple university that i have to photograph next week. Its in a hall with high ceilings and cant seem find any information on how I can better my chances to get good pictures. The hall is at temple university mitten hall great court. I want some opinion/recommendation on how to tackle this high ceiling problem. The event is held from 5-10. I am going to be using Canon 5d mrk II with Canon 50mm f1.2, Cannon 135 f2, Canon 24-70 f2.8, and a sigma 70-200 f2.8, YongNuo Yn-468 E-TTL flash on camera, and off camera flash YongNuo Yn-560 ii triggered with YongNuo RF-603 triggers. With a back-up camera t3i. Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated so thank you ahead of time

So it seems that you're implying that you're used to using bounce flash, and since the ceiling is high, you aren't going to get that much of an effect off of the flash?

If so, I like to use bounce flash a lot. Especially at events and meetings. I've never shot in a situation with a ceiling that high. However, my advice is to always try and trigger your subjects into migrating over and near a wall before the shot is taken, and bouncing the flash off of the wall. They don't have to be right up against it. within 9 to 12 feet of it will be fine. My home has 15' vaulted ceilings, and I use bounce flash in it all the time. It usually entails bumping the ISO up to 400, but they images always turn out fine. With that Mark II, you should be able to get pretty good ISO performance.
