[QUOTE="Revet, post: 264112, member: 17612"] I am new to portrait photography. I currently have a D3100, a 60 mm Macro lens, a 18-270 mm zoom lens, an SB-700 Speedlight (with sync cord), an an umbrella (white, with removable back for shoot through). I have been practicing all of the standard shots (Rembrant, loop, Split, butterfuly, etc) so I have various lightening techniques and camera/flash settings down pretty good for one person (not sure how well these apply to group shots) . I want to do a family portrait (4 people and 2 dogs). My problem is, I would love to shoot all sorts of shots with different lighting, etc but I don't think my family or dogs has the patience. So I want to try to get the best set-up I can without a lot of practice shots. What I am really looking for is some lighting suggestions. I have the one speedlight and umbrella and can also use the on-camera flash for fill if needed (in SU-4 mode). I am not looking to renting or buying any new equipment at this time. I just want to attempt a nice shot with the equipment I have. [/QUOTE]
