Like I’ve said before, we having been shooting all kinds of events lately. This group shot was for the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls. Although we completely failed the photo shoot by leaving flashes at home (we were too tired form the previous day wedding and I messed up with packing the equipment), this image came out all right. We used ambient light coming in from the gate as the main front light and there was some back light coming from two windows of the warehouse. It was disappointing to work in such conditions and our motivation went down the drain, but we had to work with what we had and they desperately needed pictures…

I Hi!
I was wondering if you had any tips on how to shoot a large group. I was approached by my husband that works in the military about possibly shooting his company of small groups of 40-60 guys or possibly as large as 280! I am not a professional by any means. I have done some work for them but it was either action photos or portraits. He said they wanted a photo taken from above so they can see all their faces…… He also mentioned they could possibly get a cherry picker to help out with that… I just haven’t taken any photos of large groups and am trying to figure out how to go about this.
I have been following you and reading your columns since before Christmas 2010, when I was looking up which camera to buy next. I went from a Nikon d40x to a Nikon 7000. I love it!
Thanks for all the useful information!
