I just want to know some tips and tricks from the experienced with regards to shooting outdoors, most probably lots of trees. This is my first shoot so anything will help. I was wondering what will I use, my 50mm f/1.2 or my 70-200 f/2.8? I will shoot at around 10-11am, will a reflector just do or should i bring a flash with umbrella? Or should I bring everything? Any other suggestions will help! Thanks to everyone! 5D Mark III, 5D mark II, EF 50mm f/1.2L USM, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM, Tokina 11-16mm F2.8, EF 24mm-105mm f/4.0L IS USM

However, one of the main problems in outdoor pics is splotchy (uneven) light on the skin caused by sunlight filtered through the trees. You might want to put the sun behind your subject. And how did you accumulate all that gear and never take a pic of somebody outdoors? 1D4, 6D, 7D2, Sony a6000 with Sony16-70, Rokinon 12mmf2, Canon lenses: 17-40L, 17-55 f2.8, 10-22, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.8, 70-200mm IS 2.8, 300mm 2.8 IS, 580EXII (3), 430EX, Alien Bees.
