Nikon Portraiture Shootout!!

[espn]

yippeeee... 3 more days to go!! :gbounce:

deathgame - heehee... we are going to shoot photographers on sat. need to document the day's events for their Focus magazine. just pray JC of photoi dun pop in... if he starts shooting us, everyone is gonna siam his cam, like during the d2x launch.... :bsmilie:

kegler - ermmm... is there any studio for rent big enuf for 40 pax?? :sweat:

Yep... 3 more days. I think JC is not going for this sat's event, if he is I'll have a hard time siaming his camera, it was easier to siam during the D2X launch.

Yeah, I'll be documenting the event on saturday :blah: So beware!! You might appear in forums! :devil:


Finding a studio that big is not an issue, the logistics, lightings are, actually the earlier discussions were to shoot indoors & outdoors, chngpe01 and AJ23 have offered me the use of their elinchromes & softboxes, but I decided against that as it would be messy and a lot of things to take care of like triggers, etc.

actually, for indoor, it can be less messy with more organisation when using one trigger as it ensures that one photographer is shooting at any one time. other triggers are banned. protects the heads too. model can be more focussed too.

Can I just bring a 50mm/1.8 and wait my turn for the 85mm/1.4? :bsmilie:

Thought of that, but flash can trigger the lights too. And using sync cables are too messy. Not to mention dangerous. Not to mention the costs of the studios will be expensive, I didn't even want to hit $20 for this outing. Thus my preference for outdoor. Lots of space to roam and ideas.

Indoors are limited to poses & not much scenary. Thought I'd leave the indoors to Astin/Brett and the rest.

Sure, you should.


Dislcaimer: At the end of the day, espn will NOT be liable for any purchases you make. :devil:


BUY BUY BUY!!!!

espn ah, there are studio lights meant for outdoor ones lah, so you can always mix studio light and pose and scenary and mood (and Nikon) all at the same time. :bsmilie:

Yeah I know, actually considering to buy at least 2 x 250W and use outdoors, guess it would help for my work & personal leisure, hehe.
