Strobist DC Kickoff Meeting – Total Success!
The first meeting of the Strobist DC meetup group was a total sucess. We had a mixed crowd, from folks with lots of baggage in photography to those who are just starting, but we all had one thing in common, we want to learn more about off camera lighting techniques.
As each member entered the room they were greet by us (me and my wife), then asked to take a sit at the hot couch. The hot couch was surrounded by 3 flashes; each one with a different purpose. One to the left of the subject looking downwards lighting only the face by using a snoot. One behind the subject, lighting only the fireplace using two gels (orange and red) simulating that it was on. Another flash mounted on the camera (front of subject) pointing to the ceiling used for fill-in flash. Here are some if the results:
