Hi All not been here for a while as I have a new little one, but need a bit of lighting advice....
We have been given a very rare opportunity to work in a school taking pics of groups of the children before a school disco, bit out of our league but hey if we don't screw it up it could be a regular thing working toward the actual school contract.
I have portible supports, Lastolite Hi White background etc but only a couple of 300w lights which light it all ok, they are a bit slow recycling but I will manage, I need to light the background with a third light and was going to use my 580EXII and Gary Fong Lightsphere Collapsible, this would mean my using the 7D instead of the 5D MKII as it is wireless, I have my Studio light trigger connected but need to know a) can i fire the 580EXII without the popup flash on the 7D? I have it all running with the popup but it seems to give me a dark picture,, if I switch off the popup and the 580EXII it's nice and bright which to me suggests different flash speeds? Anyone got any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Also b) anyone ever had the problem with the ripples showing in the high white pvc background and any tips to get rid of them?
Thanks
Lee
