Should I bring my Propane Heater(s) and is there a local place to get the 30lb cans in your garage filled?

Do you want to use my Backdrop stands?
My Crappy lights?

Backdrop stand - yes
and black seamless seem so popular, might be a good idea for it to make a come back.

As for lights, I'm hoping to add one more light by december, so I should have 7 of my own, and I should be able to get Joe to provide his 3 B800s for the "special" studio. So I think we're good on strobes.

Heating.... I think I'll rely more on the Kero since it's quieter and more BTU

The carpool list will come out soon. I'm also offering up to 5 bed space and 7~8 floor space for the night, but I will also be compiling a list of people who might want to share a nearby hotel room.

I got me a ring light about 2 years ago and have yet to use it...might get one of you expert photographers to give me some pointers with it...

what kind is it?

Ok, so I'm thinking about charging a small fee for the use of the private shooting station (Station 3 last year). Not so much to turn a profit, but so there's some sort of order with sharing the use of the space.

I'm thinking something like $20~$25 for a 50-minute block. The station will have black seamless paper and 3x B800 lights with assorted modifiers. I will black out the one and only window there so it would be completely dark.

how big is that space?

Tim Prendergast wrote:

Um... it's a 2-car garage with some yard machines parked in there. The backdrop will be a standard 9' seamless with enough space on both side for lights.

heat? Chair/stool or other posing implements?

Ironically, probably the warmest room downstairs...lol. Since it's the dedicated room for 18+ photography, there will be a 60,000 btu kerosense heater down there. No props, but I have a stool at the makeup area that can be stolen.

Trust me, it's looking that way. Though I am getting more people interested in my couples stuff.

I believe it is the AB800 Ring Light...I am at work right now so I can't verify the llama number

Beth, if you have a few never-seen-before pieces that you'd like to debut, we can have a mini fashion show.

Yes. those who prepay will get first pick.

So... last year I had Nintendo Wii setup in the entertainment room, but it was not as a big attraction as I have hoped. (not to mention I was shamefully defeated in Wii bowling.) So this year I'm thinking about using that space either as wardrobe central, or some kind of ring flash station.

I think the room itself still got a lot of use though.  It was one of the quietest public areas when the band was playing, for example.
