Speed lights not cutting it huh?  We will give you hands on experience in using affordable and portable mono lights and equipment. Try Before You Buy.  ⢠You'll be so impressed with your images after the event that you'll be ready to order the same lighting equipment we use. ⢠We'll show you different light modifiers and their uses. Octobox, Octodome, beauty dish and grids will be covered. You'll also get to see the new High Output Beauty Dish (HOBD) in action. ⢠Circular Polarizer will be discussed and how it will improve your images when shooting outdoors or at the beach. I recommend Hoya brand. ⢠Once you attend our workshop, you'll be able to build up your port with beautiful models quickly. ⢠Students can take the remainder of day to shoot models. Preperations: ⢠To make use of the workshop, CyberSyncs or Pocket Wizards are recommended. You can rent the PW's from Calumet or Samy's if needed. If the Pocket Wizards are unavailable to rent, you may rent the CyberSyncs or Pocket Wizards from Drew and I. Limited availability. ⢠Students should have prior knowledge on how to adjust their camera to manual mode and adjust aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Don't care about the workshop? ⢠For photographers who don't care about the workshop, they can shoot the available models for the group shoot portion. (Please note that the workshop will be using Channel 1 and 2 on the Pocket Wizards. On the CyberSyncs we'll reserve Channel 1 and 2 also, if needed) ⢠Shoot beautiful models all day long. ⢠Please be courteous, if you're going to set up your lighting equipment inside a building, to either share or move locations every 1/2 hour.

Those 2 models are gorgeous and I might invite both of them Apr 28 10 10:36 pm Link Due to overwhelming feedback, Dr Pepper will not be at this event. Dr Pepper is a unique blend of 23 flavors. It has a more refreshing taste compared to other colas. So due to the majority I'll bring the plain taste of * I am not a paid sponsor or distributor for DPSG or any of it's affiliates. I just like Dr Pepper over Coke. * Apr 28 10 11:09 pm Link Drew Santos wrote: LOL Apr 28 10 11:24 pm Link Bright Candle Photo wrote: LOL Apr 28 10 11:25 pm Link SNAPSHOT LA wrote: I got news for you.

After heavy negotiations, she is coming to ours since we only bring gorgeous models. Reserve her 1 on 1s as she will be sold out.  Apr 29 10 03:44 pm Link i'm in, i'll leave the lawnmower at home though Apr 29 10 05:49 pm Link ohhh April  Just got my preorder email from PCB!! Bad thing is I was about to buy a new lens Einstien or 17-55 F/2.8!? Ahhhhhh!!!! Apr 29 10 07:45 pm Link Bright Candle Photo wrote: Used 17-55mm f/2.8 lenses go for around $1000, so theoretically you could have money for both. I've used the lens extensively for the past four months and find the range to be a bit limiting for my tastes.
