Soooo I am scratching my head a bit. My parents want to get some nice group shots of my family when they are all together in a few days down on the beach. Ok cool. I really want a nice depth of field so want to use my nifty fifty at 1.8 and I will be using aperture priority.So here is the problem.
At 50 mm I will need to be quite a way away from the group to get them all in, say at least 12-15 feet. I have a single sb-700 which even on full on a bright day wont really do much for the shadows from 15 feet will it? Outdoors (its meant to be overcast that day but still bright) at that aperture the shutter speed wants to go to 2000+ at iso 100. So how do I get the shutter speed down to the 250 needed to have the flash off camera and closer to the group? What would be my best options here? I know the obvious thing would be to adjust aperture but is there another way to allow me to shoot wide open? I have a pixel Soldier wireless trigger which syncs at 250 max
Thanks in advance
