[QUOTE="Pelush, post: 459982, member: 35761"] To shoot at such choir you really need to understand some things first: - The athmosphere into the church: is it a modern one, medieval, light, dark, what illumination is there (warm light, neon tubes etc...) try to respect the ambient of the church making the same sensation you feel on the spot to appear in your picture, so plan carefully the temperature and softness of the light. (sometimes a candle light scenario may work 1000 times better than a bright scenario) - The presence of natural light - The place where the choir will stay: is it a restricted place, is it wide? is there any place in front above, at sides where you can place your light sources? - The quality you are expecting: do you really need shooting at ISO 100 ? Then on these information you can plan your lighting consider that lighting a wide subject you will require a wide source of light, begin looking at the church warehouse they will probably have the items to make you build a big orientable white board, use it to reflect your flashes. Or, if you really need a more intimate feel, try hiring some tungsten movie spot light, they are really cheap. [/QUOTE]
