A photog friend of mine is loaning me her novatron lighting kit to see if I like it. She has alien bees so never uses it. She does not have the plug to sync with my camera though and I don't want to buy anything just yet until I figure out what I want.
So, the other day, I get to it, to see how I like it. I set up white seamless paper, & put the 2 umbrellas on each side of the subject. There is one other naked light but I didn't use it. (Not to sure where to put it)
Anyway, to my issue. I was taking pictures of my husband and 2 boys. In order to have them all in focus, I used f/5.6 but in turn, this made my shutter speed extremely low! (ISO-400). I wasen't able to get a good picture b/c both boys are toddlers and were moving around.
Then I tried f/2.5 1/60 sec. ISO-400 which gave me a lot more light but it was hard to get everyone in focus. So I used my flash and got shadows!
I was just wondering if someone could offer any advice? I have been doing some research, (I know, google is my friend) but still wanted to get some advice from y'all on here.
