He is your best friend, and you are not going to be joining the party?

My reaction as well. You don't put your best friends to work for you at your own party.

Lots of limitations. Limited space. I have to use just my own Speedlite (430 Ex). I can, maybe set up a portable background (white or black).

Equipment : 6D, 24-105, 40 mm pancake and 50 mm 1.4.

What I plan to do is Buy a diffuser to put in front of the speedlite. Set up the portable background. White. Use the zoom lens. Set camera and speedlite to manual, figure out the settings in advance. Shoot in jpeg +RAW. Use the jpegs for the party. Use the raw files for later if some post Processing is needed.

I would appreicate tips and comments. I have not done this before.

No one cares about your opinion Howard, isn't that clear?

Don't act like a coward, Howard. Be a man, admit your mistakes.

Remember, YOU are the one that started all of this with your reading comprehension problems.
