There is a old bridge where they live, they want to have this taken there. The sun would be directly behind them with no shade. This is going to take place about 10:30 in the morning. My question, do you think i will need some alien bee for lighting up there faces since the sun is at there backs?? Canon 20D (with grip), Canon 40d, Canon L 24-70mm,Canon 50mm 1.4, Canon 85mm 1.8, 70-200mm 2.8 L, 580 ex speedflash, 2 AB800, 2 softboxes, 4 strobes, backdrops, flash bracket, reflectors and other misc....

Yes you will need additional light. Went shooting outdoor portraits, I try to shoot when the sun is directly above unless you want that sun glare. That look does good in some pictures. Probably not the best look for a portrait with 35 people. Jermaine Amado, Photographer/Owner
