I've been asked to do a series of prom shots for a friends daugher and her friends prom in July.

The backdrop will be a garden with trees, bushes and flowers etc.

I'll be using my 40D and have a 430EXII flash. Lens wise I have a Tamron 17-50 f2.8, 50mm f1.8 and Canon L 70-200 f4.

I'll be taking the photos around 4:30om and hoping for decent light and weather. If it's a dry day and I could get hold of some lighting would it be worth it over using natural light and a 430 flash?

Total novice as this kind of stuff but it's great experience with a bunch of willing models. Plus I want the picture to look great for them.
 
Why not mix ambient and flash?

These were done for a friends daughter using a 400D, 70-200, 1 580EXii and a shoot through umbrella.(oh, and a nd filter to get the shutter speed down low enough!) Fired using RF602s.

I really like them. I've not got an umbrella so will look into what's what :)
 
You should be able to pick up a cheap umbrella and bracket on the bay for under £30. Do you have wireless triggers? If not, well worth the investment. You will find lots of people happy with the RF602s
 
Good luck....dont forget to post the results back here!!
