The Pro-B 3 and the Acute B2 did not take off from Sweden for the Launch here.
Denis Says very sorry but the Icelandic ash caused havoc again .

Hope to get them by 24th June PrUG when we can do an outdoor test shoot!

Come play with The Pro-B 3 and the Acute B2 .
Program suggestions please ? :p
 

Hmm... Profoto lightings are known for its light quality and ability to freeze motion. There can be plenty of ideas to work on that... I have plenty of ideas but cannot make it leh.
 

how about dramatic lighting portraiture?
 

Get an aerosol, get a lighter, spray the open flame and try to keep the studio from burning down?

If survive, then the pictures will be awesome! hee hee hee..... :)

Not the ability to freeze motion, profoto is actually quite bad with that.

Just want to thank Denis for letting me share with fellow Profoto users my setup for dramatic lighting for this Thursday gathering.

Here are some of my sample photos shot with the setup that i will be using on Thurs.

Catering for the gatherings is tough.
Like maybe 3 registered .
21 sms " OK " not " Please include me "
12 emails indicating " noted " . ( meaning ? )

Last HUG for instance , more or less same response , catered for 35 and 68 turned up .
No RSVP culture .
Then there was this One guy who was overheard saying after wiping his mouth , " Eat finish full full already , now can relax and wait for Lucky Draw ".
Denis says " They are our customers . They have spent or are going to spend money with us . We entertain them . We provide some Photography knowledge , some Seeing , Touching , Hearing Experience and also Tasting and stomach filling as well .
Also a Lucky draw to round up so every one is happy ."
MY Point : Please be considerate and register so some of us who come direct from work will not go hungry whilst enjoying the show.
