LUGs,
Thanks to all who responded so promptly to my urgent call for help.
I ended up adapting a combination of suggestions: Carl's single
large umbrella for the main light and Eric's and David's window for
fill - the foamcore was in the car just in case. I adjusted the
light to subject distance to give me f/5.6 and the natural light
metered out at between f/2.8 & f/4. The subjects were placed about
four feet in front of plain light colored wall.
I just picked the prints from the local one-hour place & they look
fine - technically. As Carl experienced with the Fulbright
recipients, I was in a bit of a time crunch and did not have the
opportunity to fine-tune for each subject.
