I'm very interested in coming out for this event. I don't have lighting equipment, however I will bring some enthusiasm!

Aw what the hell. I might as well jump in head first. Just joined the forums today, and I haven't even posted an introduction yet, and here I am signing up for an event. :)

I'll bring:

- 430EX I, tripod, lightsphere
- Flashwave 2 (TX/RX)
- Maybe an umbrella and stand if I can pick up a shoe adapter by then

It crossed my mind to bring my DYI colander/beauty dish, but that'd be just wrong. Or not.

I'll be the guy who looks utterly lost and out of place.

- Ron (ldam)

Instead of light stands why not have people hold the strobes?

Everyone is invited to this event. It's a good way to get out and practice how to light. The goal of this meet is to shoot a handful of interesting portraits and/or candid shots.

hey everyone,

sorry I missed this, seems like you guys had a lot of fun, and even had some to agree to get photographed papparazzi style. For those who would like to have more of this, let's do this again on Nov 21 at Yorkville Park. Details here:
