Behind the Scenes - Large Group Photo

http://froknowsphoto.com/?p=3120

At UG7 I had to take a large group photo of almost all of the attendees. This is a behind the scenes video of how everything was captured and how we got to the final photo below. Greg was recoding video with the Nikon D7000 and I had on my Sony Wireless mic to capture all my audio.

At the end of the video I show you how I edited this photo and yes I ended up using fill light this time and it made the image much stronger. Be sure to click the image below to see the final full res jpeg which was exported from lightroom.

Greg, just curious as you what your settings were on the D7000 for this video? Also what lens?

Thanks!

@RallyBlue greg was probably using a priority with the 14-24 2.8 Nikon. Manual focus wireless audio pack.

Its much easier to photograph 400 adults than it is to photograph 5 kids.

when doing a large group what do set your focus on? are you using manual focus or automatic/ single point focus?

[killerkaly]

What camera strap are you using?!

[pseudotasuki]

I know that balcony. That's at the Gaylord National resort in National Harbor, MD. I've taken altogether too many photos up there, but great light.

Hey Jared, where do you point your Auto Focus? In the center of the group or at the boss in the front because they are very important (they pay the bill)? Please respond to this question, I'm about to do a job like this in one day.

[aliasangel2005]

Jared, did you zoom it to "18mm" on your 14-24mm? and your camera is DX format right?

[aliwesker]

what would be different if you have taken the shot with D7000 . similar wide angle lens?

Did you use Iso 1600 ?
