been sleepin away for the whole day....:embrass:
Just came back from Ubin for the event shoot.
First of all, I totally worn out after the whole thing. Started using 2 cams to shoot then the rain started pouring then I decided to just use the 50D and 1 lens all the way. Haha!
And the 200 pax group shot was done in 5 mins.
This was learnt somewhere in the internet beforehand.

Thanks!!
So you ended up shooting with the Sigma or 70-200?
Are you allowed to release that big group shot? Am interested in seeing whether or not you can even identify faces with so many people in the shot.
I've got a question about using ND filters...
With normal exposure, let's say I meter to get 1/250. With a ND8 filter, would my effective shutter speed be 1/60 or 1/30? Do you start counting the 3-stop EV reduction from 1/250 or from 1/125?
Sigma. Lol! Can release, but i have no upload.
The stops I think should be correct. I not very sure at this point.

it is 3-stop from 1/250.

So, effective shutter speed with ND8 is only 1/60. Wah piang!! To get silky effect of waterfall in bright sunlight will need ND400 filter!?!?! :sweat: Then, why is it people recommend ND4/ND8 filters to get those kind of shots?
Wow! How big are you gonna get that printed? To get a decent-sized view of most ppl's face, think you need at least 20R. No?
Nice. Are they all photographers?Here's one of the many shots of the huge group I took in 5 mins.

Not easy to frame the shot when you are talking about numbers this huge. :thumbsup:

With an UWA, shouldn't be too much of a problem.
You can go lower than 1/60 with ND8 filter on. Tripod is needed though.
Not printing though. Haha!
Luckily the final gather point is at this empty so-called basketball court with no hoops. Haha!
Of the 4 sides, this is the best. Before this they are actually facing forward then I told the organizer. I go behind the group and when you are done finish with your speech/annoucement, get them to turn around.
So now you know how I get the appropriate settings and done this huge shot in 5 mins.
Btw, this shot is w/o flash fired. I have shots with flash fired one.

Whao, good idea. I can use this method if I ever come across big gatherings like this
.No money for UWA.
On my list is an UWA, I think I love the wide wide perspective. Shall try one more UWA and decide which to go for.
Anyone got the toki 11-16 to let me try?
