Thanks J__ for organizing this :D I don't have any strobist equipment, maybe just a reflector but if you prefer people to bring their own, I can rent out a flash and maybe get a wireless trigger to go with it. Anyway, how about a bath tub, unless you have a very huge sink and maybe we can get like white foam board from Staples or some art supply store, those things are cheap.

don't worry about renting equipment. Feel free to bring anything you want to try out though. Reflectors are always good to have on hand.

I always say that the whole idea of these events is to be able to try out stuff with other, and pool all of our equipment into one spot. If anyone is comfortable with people using their stuff, they'll bring it.

As with all my events, i tell people, if you break someone else's stuff, its between you and that person to amicably work it out.

Sounds good, but this will probably make more sense outside in the summer.

It would but given weather, and also plugs... indoor we can control some most of the environment. As long as its big enough, which mine is, should be fine. I think I'll be able to setup a few stations as well.

So this sounds cool but without a fixed date its kinda hard to commit. We're on vacation April 1-11 so that definitely puts a damper on saying yes.

I picked a date! :D

I hope that helps everyone!

I made the offer as well that I could charge a nominal fee prior and I could pick up some/most of the props and some drinks and snacks.

I'm really interested in learning how to use flash and light. Looking forward to this event.

One question : I have a 7D with wireless flash capability, and a 430 EX, what other equipment do I need for the event? A reflector or softbox? Sorry I'm just a newbie.

I'm sorry to do this everyone, but I'm going to need to reschedule this event. Something's come up and I can't run this next week.

I see the date has been removed (I've been away for a day due to dead computer). I hope when a new day is chosen a new post written as editing the date in this one would just assume people currently listed can automatically make the new date which may not be the case, since I couldn't make the original date.

As such I changed my reservation from can't make it to waiting list.
