Well I am getting ready to shoot the photos for a wrestling club in about 2 weeks. I just talked to my contact and they want it done in 30-40 minutes so they can immediately run practice. Whew...alright there are 55 kids, about 70% under age 9. I don't expect all of them to show, but I am planning for 50. Shoot is at 6pm, so its dark outside here. The shoot is in the gym (lighting is blah...and fluorescent). I want to use my strobes, but they want to start practice right away in the same gym. So I am thinking of using speedlites to keep out of their way, and keep them happy, but I just don't know if speedlites are going to cut it.
I currently have one 580exII and two 430exII's...just got rid of my second 580 thinking I didnt need it... I plan on shooting from a small ladder, and I was thinking using 3 silver lined umbrellas behind camera straight on. I hate the silver lining ususally, but I am afraid it may not cut it with white. Opinions? I also thought about not using umbrellas at all, and shooting bare. I was planning on 12 people wide 4 deep as I want to add some text above it.
I am not against spending a few hundred to get another 580 if it would make the difference. Thoughts, opinions, questions?
