<p>I'm new at this too... have a marti gras event to shoot tomorrow night and sorta freaked out! I have a 50mm 1.4 and a 28-135 3.5 shooting with a 7D. I have to get a group shoot for 40 people and was planning on bringing my studio lighting for that... how ever I am not very familiar with it... the rest of the evening will be trying to capture party pics in candle light! I really want to keep the feel of the room in the shot. Has anyone ever bounce their speedlite off a reflector that an assistant is holding? I was thinking maybe at 45 degree of the subject. I would love tips on both how to set up the three studio strobes for the group shot and the party pics. </p>

<p>PS I would love this the lighting to turn out very dramatic and I can make do some fun post processing as this is a 1920's themed marti gras party!!!</p>
