[QUOTE="Revet, post: 221490, member: 17612"] Until yesterday, the picture was going to be taken with a small digital camera with no lens and a tiny flash. With what I have available to me I'm sure I can do better. Thanks for the advice , I didn't know that I couldn't trigger the SB 600 with my flash like the 700 I own. I was originally thinking of placing the two speedlights in front of the camera maybe halfway to the group off to the sides (one on the left and one on the right) and point them both towards the middle of their respective sides of the group. Won't this cancel out shadows created by the one on the other side?? Of course I still have the problem of firing the 600. So how about this, I think I can take the shot elevated (don't forget I'm in the picture). I can use the 600 on the camera and remote the 700. Where would a good place for the 700 to be?? I think the ceilings in this place are low and white but it is 500 miles from me right now so it is tough to get practice in on site. I want to try to make it simple since I haven't gotten to indoor photos yet in my studies. I will certainly practice everything at home so the mechanics of setting everything up runs smoothly. Also, this is the first time in a while i am seeing my whole family (10 siblings and 30 nephews and nieces) so I am going to be pretty ramped up and not thinking too much about photography or how I need to get the picture. So if you can give me a few scenarios with the two speedlights that would be better than a point and shoot digital camera, that would be awesome. Last thing, I am very good with Lightroom, using raw photos (which I always shoot). I am not so good with photoshop elements but I find I can do anything I want by googling it. [/QUOTE]
