WEEK IN PHOTOGRAPHY: Flag link: https://goo.gl/RtnFne QUESTIONS: Penny Pelot Next weekend I'm taking some family photos in a mansion with high ceilings. I'm not too worried about it except for one of them. They want a group shot with about 25 people. Equipment I have available: Canon EOS 5D Mark III External flash Canon 580 EXII, 4 Yongnuo YN-560 II 4 light stands 2 black and white 43" umbrellas 2 33" translucent white umbrellas. There is a staircase that I may or may not use for this. My plan so far is to use a step stool to stand on and a tripod. (maybe not step stool if I use the staircase) Use my largest umbrella with one of the Yongnuo flashes on a light stand about 5-6 feet up. Set that up behind me facing down at a 45-degree angle on to my subjects. I feel I need a fill flash in front of them? I maybe all off on this whole thing. What do you guys think? Kamal Sinno I am interested in your tips and topics. If you have any experiences in shooting skateboarders, skaters, car drifting or so. please share with me your experiences with the camera and settings. Peter Binne 1 week ago · Shared privately Hey Spyros! I'm trying to prepare some pictures for text, but it can be difficult to make the text clear and sharp. The text should be white. Do you have any tricks for preparing an image for text? Inkscape: https://inkscape.org/en/ Thanks! CRITIQUES 01 - Joe I am a brand new photographer, very, VERY new. Have always had an interest in photography, but have never taken it up until recently. The camera I am using is the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 with the 18-55mm kit lens.
