The WHOLE Clan - a photo on Flickriver

The WHOLE Clan

It's a picture of my whole family, taken this Christmas. The greatest challenge was getting everyone to be in the picture; after that, lighting it was a little tricky...

I was lucky, though, to have a slightly-off-white ceiling; nice and flat, about 9 feet hight. Since I had that going for me, I just took two Nikon SB-25s, slapped eBay triggers on 'em, set them at 1/4 power, and gunned off a few test shots.

Once I had the ambient/flash mix down, I started getting everyone in the same room, and, once everyone was there, I used the little Nikon remote to snap the picture (we took 8 frames, and this one had the fewest crazy faces).

Shot on a Nikon D90, on a Manfrotto tripod, using eBay Triggers. Learn how to light at Strobist.
