Hello! My in-laws asked me to take some family photos (groups between 2 and 12 people) on the ocean beach before the family wedding selebration in July (North-Eastern suburbs, Salem/Swampscott, of Boston).
Weather permitting, the photo "session" is planned between 10am and noon. I am trying to think what I would need for that. I am going to use a digital camera (*ist DS) that I hope to buy finally in the next 1-2 weeks, and I'll be using my lenses from ZX-5n, and the flash AF-500FTZ to soften the light if necessary. I am a bit afraid of large amounts of light coming from the back (sky + to some extent water). The coastal line goes primarily South-North, with the ocean being on the east, and the sun being in the S-E part of the sky. If the weather will be cloudy and grayish, - this in combination with overall flat light would make the pictures flat and colorless. If it will be sunny, I am hoping to be able to soften the light with the fill-in flash, but thinking if I should get some reflector that I could set in front of the people. Any suggestions and/or ideas? Thank you, Igor Igor Roshchin KomKon Sites
