Ok i am in need of urgent help on something. My friend and his new band wants some promo pictures. I have seen many pictures of bands done with fancy strobes and lighting on spot. I have also seen soem basic ones on location with just a camera and prime lens. So im really nervous because i have seen shots done for his previous band by someone else and they were very good. I plan on seeing the spot a day or two before i shoot it so i know what light to deal with. We plan on shooting down at the Jersey shore but im not sure where. Gear i will have of mine and borrowed gear of my friends will include:


1 Alien Bee 800, 2 crappy delicacy 180s strobes with white umbrellas.


2. 3 cyber syncs.


3. Rebel XT and 50D.. 70-200 2.8, 50 1.8, 18-55,


4. Gitzo tripod


Now i plan on using some cool strobe effects for the first time like lighting from behind the group of 4 band members. I have seen cool effects this way. But as far as using all of these three strobes i dont have much experience. And tips? i am shooting these soon and am in a rush to find info. Thanks !
