So my lovely girlfriend calls me today and asks me for a big favor. She works for W.M. Jordan, a big contracting firm. Well, they are looking for some shots of active older men and women from a retirement home down the street from my house. I was asked to do it! I'm excited!

I am getting my camera today after 6:15PM (damn FedEX and their having to sign for packages), and I have a new lens coming today as well from UPS, Sigma 24-70/2.8. With the Sigma and the 2 lenses listed below, what should I take with me?

Canon 50/1.8
Canon 18-55/3.5-5.6

I'm using a DRebel, no external flash. I will probably take my monopod.

Please, call me Steve.

I would not worry about blur as even active seniors dont move fast. LOL J/K. As I think I can assume this is not portrait work, I would bring the zooms to frame the action. I might just bring everything as you never know the lighting or other conditions you run into.

My camera came back today, my Sigma lens came in, and the Hoya HMC UV filter came in for the lens. It's like Christmas!

P.s> This lens is huge!

It's not how big it is, it's what you do with it.

I presume W. M. Jordan has that, but how would I set one up?
