I have been asked to take an informal group portait this weekend of our
sophmore class and I would like some advice. I am planning to take the
picture outside and the weather calls for partly cloudy skies and warm so I
was planning on using a slow film so that the enlargemnts will come out
relatively grainless. I was planning on using Kodak Royal Gold 100 but I was
wondering if there was a better film out there for the job. I was considering
royal gold 25 but I think that might be too slow. Can anyone sugest a film
that might be better for the job. Another question concerns the number of
photos to take. I had planned on bracketing the photos one stop higher and
lower so I have some latitude in the final print but I don't know how many
sets I should take. Should I shoot an entire roll to get a good picture? I
am hopeing that somone out there has done something similar and might have
sugestionss that could help. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Royal Gold does not have a wide exposure latitude so you have to be careful
about braketting. Most important accessory for good enlargements is a sturdy
tripod. Try Fill-in flash if possible, if not use reflectors. HTH
