I was just asked to do a small group shoot...

...of about 10 people. I have about a month to get ready for this, it's my first "real" shoot (its for the company my GF works for). I guess I'm just wondering if my current equipment will be sufficient for this shoot.

I have a 285HV and 430EX, wireless triggers, 8' stands, 45" convertible umbrellas, and of course my 40D with 28-75 f/2.8 or 50 f/1.8

Any suggestions as far as equipment, setup, or anything else??

Thanks!
Bryan

Excellent! Now I just have to practice, practice, practice!!! I'm freaking out already, and I was just asked to do this 20 min ago!

If you have the ebay triggers, I would not be comfortable with those. Hopefully yours are more reliable than mine were.
As far as strobes, I think you got it covered.
Is the 28 to 75 wide enough?

I have the 16 channel triggers. They seem to be reliable so far, although I haven't used them at any distance greater than about 5 feet. Not one misfire/no-fire yet. If the 28-75 isn't wide enough, I can rent something a little wider, maybe the 17-55 IS or the 16-35 II, or maybe even the 17-40.
