[QUOTE="Revet, post: 222234, member: 17612"] LOL, I found it on PAGE 2 !!!! Didn't know I had a 2nd Page! Ok, thanks for the input on the halogens. So I guess I am going to go with the 2 speed lights on the camera (the 600 on the shoe and the 700 triggered in SU-4 mode on a bracket off to the side). I will face them straight ahead at my mom (its all about her). I can use a tripod for the camera and still get it up high and use the step ladder to adjust the shot and look at the histogram so I can try slower shutter speeds and higher ISO's if needed. Then in post processing I can lighten up the edges of the group if I need to. I guess I could also try cutting the group in half and hit them with the lights, do the same for the other half and then photoshop the two images. I think here comes the last question, would you use an incandescent dome on the flashes to match the room lighting or just shoot it with the flashes like they are with the camera set for flash white balance (using Raw) and then correct in Lightroom the best I can. Also, I do have that wide angle lens I can pull out for the flash on the 700 (not sure if the 600 has it). Normally i only use that for macro photography. Does it have any use in this shot or will it just cause too much flash drop-off. I can test all these ideas at home and before the shot but the more info I get here, the better. Thanks again for all the great advice. I'm really excited about starting my Flash Photography learning (probably after the new year). I'm starting with Digital's photography School's e-book "Lighting the Shot". Oh, Last last question. When I use my SB 700 on the camera, I set the flash on DX to match my camera. In this shot, can't I set it for FX to get more coverage since I would be using manual and Flash reduction if needed (starting on 1/1 and reducing as needed)? [/QUOTE]
