Ok guys,

Tomorrow I am going to the Alabama School for the Blind. They asked me to do their group pictures for their year book.

I would welcome any advice in how to do this, I normally do not shoot groups, so I am lost at what settings to use, etc.

Some groups will have as little as 7 people, some will have as many as 20.
It may be indoors (gym) or outside (lawn) depending on the weather and it will probably be around 10 am in the morning.

So, please provide some advice? :dunno

    Bring lighting sufficient to solve any problems you may encounter:

    What kind of lighting is there in the gym? Is is sufficient to properly expose? Does it bounce around enough to eliminate raccoon eyes? If not you will need additional lighting. What color is the light. Gel your lights to match.

    Be sure to set a custom white balance or at least take a shot of a known neutral for use during post.
