Hi,
A long standing member of our department is retiring in a couple of weeks and we've had the idea of doing him a photo of the rest of the office for him as a leaving present (amongst copious amounts of wine and chocolate I imagine).
There are about 35-40 people and the office is only a couple of years old so quite open and light coloured, although the light is awkward it should be good enough to not have to worry about it.
I've got a 500D and the kit lens, 50mm f1.8 and Sigma 10-20mm. Torn between the three to be honest, obviously the fifty is sharpest, kit lens most practical and the 10-20 will get everyone in with no problems but might make people look a bit odd or, even worse, fat! Depends on the space we've got and what part of the office we shoot in I suppose.
Anyone got any advice? I'm thinking people won't wanna stand there long so need to get the shot right first time. Gonna stick it on self timer and take 10 shots, should get at least one with everyone open-eyed.
