Just got my second job shooting a small private wedding in a community hall. My main gear will be the 1Ds2 + 24-70 f2.8L + 580EXII.


I've never been to that community hall and my guess is that it is one of the newer ones with windows on the sides. My concern is that the faces will be well lit on one side and there will be shadows on the other. I plan on bouncing flashes with a diffuser up the ceiling or up at an angel to the sides. But if the ceiling is too high, I might need to aim the flash on the right at the subject. Any other suggestions?


Also, I don't have any gel, never used any before, do I need to worry about it in a community hall situation and perhaps some outdoor shots as well? Thanks.
