Re: Photographing groups?

Bella,

One thing a lot of people forget: you have three ways to adjust the light levels, not two. People focus on the aperture and shutter speed but forget the ISO setting. Your 30D has excellent noise reduction and there is no reason why you couldn't take the shots at 800ISO quite happily. That will give you 3 stops more light so you can go down to f8 or f11 and still have enough light at 1/125th to work with.

You're using a 550EX which can chuck out a fair whack of light if it needs to so try it with a fast ISO and see what results you get.

Cheers,
Rob
