What size umbrellas do I need?

What size umbrella would be the best?

Just one more

Just some of what I do.

I don't often have anymore than about 8 in a row as weddings go. But as stated I shoot weddings that some times have a lot family members,and the bride and groom wants photos taken with his or her family. And my umbrellas now are 32", stands are about 7 1/2' tall. so I'm looking at some 10' stands also. I generally shoot at 20-25' with 35mm. With a zoom lens @ 35-40mm so I don't have ulgy corners. Will the 32" umbrella be wide enough? Or will I need to get some larger ones. I don't consider myself high end (yet) kinda middle of the road, but I am working on it.

Will the force 10 alone be enough for the group shots

Timber I assumed that both lights would be set at the same power setting. Explain the main & fill in a group shot

I've used less and made do,so I hoped that with three times the power that my photo would be sharper, and thats what I really want. And the back row would have more light. Thanks Timber. My funds will let me buy the white lightnings(2-X1600) which will let upgrade, and cords have not been a problem(yet).I try to have everything I need.I use 160 film for the formals. Some of the best things in life are other people mistakes, and not to make them yourself. So I listen,I kinda like the monolights myself!!!!

I have two britek 200 watt monolights and they have done a pretty

good job for me, but as my knowledge has changed I know now that they

just don't have the power to do what I want. I'm looking at Two 660

watt X1600 White Lightning with 250 watt modeling lamp or the white

lightning X3200 which is 1320 watts with a 250 modeling lamp I use

umbrellas. I would like do be able to shoot weddings with about 15-20

people in the party and be ready for all the aunt Mables and Uncle

Bobs in the family shots which can sometimes get large. Will these

two 660 watt lights be enough?And does anyone have any knowledge with

these lights? The flash duration of the X3200 is 1/900 @ full and

1/3600 @ 1/4 the X1600 is 1/1600 @ full and 1/6400 @ 1/4. Thank you

for any help you can give me.

Hello everyone, I have two 200 watt______ derated to 300 watts total,

and I've done some in home work with them and I've posted a wedding

that I did with them . And they have done a pretty good job. But as

my skills change I know that I need more power. I like doing

weddings,seniors & family I want the sharpness. I'm looking at the

white lightning X1600, they have a 250 watt modeling lamp,660 true

watts derated to 495 thats 990 total( timber) flash duration 1/1600 @

full and 1/6400 @ 1/4 .I plan to use the other lights as hair lights.

They sound good ,anyone using them?

How well will the 7Hi do when used for shooting banquets,reunions and

things like that.I have studio lights and 7Hi has a pc. And no print

will be larger than an 8x10,This way I can print their photos before

they leave the event. I also have max. 7 for 35mm

also I metered with a minolta III flash meter on both ends of the group

here's #3 they were all taken at f8 1/60 , with 2 220 watt Britek strobes at full power and about 15 ft. away

Here's #2
