Also, just so you know, I couldn't open the link to the 1825 blog, it keeps telling me "bad request." Luckily, I just googled "1825 blog" and "rebecca cooper" and got where I assume it was supposed to take me. Yay Google! ;)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987744682056544208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31250476.post-88374370822778147682010-10-27T10:12:21.754-07:002010-10-27T10:12:21.754-07:00Hi Katrina - I produce the Creative Mom Podcast, a...Hi Katrina - I produce the Creative Mom Podcast, and I'd like to ask you a question.

I have been asked to take a group shot of my daughter’s dance team on Saturday. I have never done anything like this before and really want to get as nice a shot as possible. I am hoping you can help me better understand what the best course will be to get the best shot. So here’s the situation. <br /><br />12 to 14 girls<br />High school football field (no shade, sigh) <br />9 to 10 am shoot time (sigh).<br /><br />I played a little bit this morning at the correct time and here is what I discovered<br /><br />A. <br />Front light will get me a bunch of squinting girls but by using my M mode and light metering ( thank you so much for sharing that sweet gem on TDD) off their faces I get a pretty nicely exposed photo.<br /><br />B.<br />Sidelight is going keep the girls from squinting but if I meter of the shaded side of their faces the sunny side is over exposed and if I meter off the sunny side the shaded side is underexposed..<br /><br />C.<br />Backlight gets me well exposed girls, by metering off their faces, and a blown out background. <br /><br />Everything I read online says “just don’t ” Ok now lets get real.. We can’t always be in control of these situations… I just want to do the best I can with a situation that is out of my control…<br /><br />Since I don’t have the luxury of having all the girls to play with before Saturday I am seriously hoping you can give me your best advice…Is there anything else I need to be mindful of while taking a medium sized group shot .<br /><br />Wishing your Life class was already underway…<br /><br />If you can help here..
