We waited until my D7000 arrived and then we made this photo. We had bought all black shirts for everyone but in the end, I had Becky change to her red cashmere sweater.
I decided that this year I absolutely wanted to make sure I had a large depth of field for focus. I laided out my tape measure and had Becky sit at around 7-7/12 feet. Using DOFmaster website, I came up with f/13 shooting at 50mm focusing at around 7 1/2 - 8 feet. This created a depth of field of acceptable focus from in the 6 feet area to the 10 feet area. With three rows, this made sure everyone was still in focus. I increased ISO up to 640 and the D7000 handled this with very little noise. I love that I can increase the power out put of my flashes with the commander menu by 1/3 ev.
Strobist info: SB-900 into 60" Impact white umbrella with black backing slightly to camera left and above. SB-800 into 43" Wescott white satin shoot through umbrella back right corner behind everyone and above for hair light.
