Toronto Photography Meetup Group

Details:

What: Strobist Affair 1.5
When: Sunday, Oct. 4th, 2009
Time: 10am - 2pm
Where: High Park: Grenedier Cafe (meeting place)
Bring: all your strobist gear

This will be a back to basics (BtB) workshop that will give us the chance to work with light a little more in depth. It will be a prior to the strobist affair 2.0, and it will not include models. We will work and learn with each other on techniques, lighting styles, exposures, etc.

Space is very limited.

I suggest High Park, as its close to the Subway line and its got great views.

Also, it public property so no interference from "loud Drunk girls" or security.

How? clearly you have not been in the park in the dark? well one is eliminated - security

I am in for this one if it happens while I am not working

Would love to join this session guys...plenty of error with the last strobist pic that I did (angle/lightings/shadows, etc) and would benefit from watching the more experience folks

Boo, only saw this when I got up this morning. =p

you know what they say about early birds...

(speaking of which, you know what they say about the second worm, right - "the second worm gets to live")

well, I can unregister myself...

make it more available to others

I was up till 4am last night. That's technically an early bird...

why would you limit it to few people? Clearly a lot can be learned just by standing at the side and watching open up more slots, additionally, the park is huge

Well, I was thinking to have a smaller more concentrated group as last time we had 20 ppl come out and it was hard to focus on a few topics.

The second strobist event is more the type with larger group involvement.

woah. You know, recent research has shown a link between people who sleep late at night and their creative output; a strong positive correlation.

That's because with lack of sleep you are in a constant state of haze which is condusive to creativity. It's like you are on drugs all the time.

you are if you're drinking coffee or tea, or smoke tobacco, or whatever, just not "oficially" considered a drug, but it is. it's debatable of course, but the truth is debatable too. Many creative artists use drugs, all different sorts of not encouraging you though. Very few can actually control the use, you can read something about shamans of the world etc, well, we're getting off topic

Doh, I got up too early...

Love it... an advertisment for "controlled substance abuse"

heh heh

The only problem I see with High Park at 6 pm would be that it would only give 1hr and a bit of ambient light to work with .. then you are in the dark.

yeah, a bit earlier please.

With so many people on the wait list, we can do our own!

well, i guess it depends on when we can do it, weekend or weeknight...

pick a day? and we can put it out there

sept 26, 4pm, high park?

Oh wait, lemme make sure my gear gets here before then!

That conflicts with Canon, Minolta, whatever social.

we could crash the photo meet and set up our corner to play with our gear. who knows, maybe we can get them interested too.

Then we can have a large dinner outing.

sound good?

I really hope my gear comes by then.

but i don't mind the week after either...

well, Mike are you free next week at all during the morning?

I have a shoot with a model somepoint next week, wanna come along?

We can "practice" then

I checked this too late... anyway, I'd be interested in any mini strobist events on weekday evenings..

next week? Should be. Lemme know the details.

what's with the quotation marks?? Hmmmm.

For a location how about the Music Garden down by Harbourfront? Should be ambient light after sunset.

I'm only a waiting list person, but I would love to do this next Wednesday and I like the idea of the Music Garden.

Still waiting for my RF-602 and 3 receivers from HK so Wednesday wouldn't work for me but if it works for everyone I'll come out.

Ah crap! I missed this too...and I need the practice.
