POTN - New York City (now on Facebook)

I like them. Definitely better then what I can do, I tend to avoid taking portrait shots. Not good at them, I'm hoping to pick up a flash soon so I can join you in the strobist meets.

On the side note, are we doing something for Leesa tomorrow o.O?

When's the next strobist meet? I'd love to join ya.

Tomorrow and Wednesday, then next sunday=D

Wooohoo where about and what time?

Are we? I got a PM from Tom before about it.

What are the details for it? If I'm going I have to bring my gear to work. Leesa where are you!

Tom basically said b&h at 6pm. Is that definite? How many people are attending and what are we doing exactly?

Tom didn't say anything to me, except if I can make it or not.. I'm not sure if I can be at B&H by 6pm.. I get off work at 5:30 and I work at City hall.

I'm waiting for more details, actually I'm debating whether I should pick up a new 430ex for $240 or stalk out the forums for a used one. I figure $40 can get me a set of triggers. I want to start joining the strobist meets.

Just a little heads up about the strobist meets. I went to 1-2 of the general ones where there were 5-10 people from the strobist group. It was actually quite fun and you do learn stuff but I found it a little chaotic when it comes to shooting. There's just way too many ideas/opinions and people end up talk more than shooting.

What really worked for me was finding 1-2 friends from that group and doing our own thing on the side. I learned so much more plus I didn't need to jockey around with 10 other guys in regards to shooting the model. Now, mind you, I'm speaking from limited experience since I've only done 2 shoots with a small crew. 1st time my friend lined up a model and 2nd time my model flaked and we had to recruit off the streets (which I am more than happy to). The progression is addicting. Just my 2 cents.

Could I tag along with you Ken and learn from you when I pick up a flash?

I might bail on tomorrow's event, sorry Lessa. I'll check this thread tomorrow morning before I head to work.

Ken, are you going to the Strobist meet tomorrow.

I'll talk to my friend and if there's only 2 of us for a shoot we'll take you along. Hopefully you'll understand but we try to keep the group to only 2-3 photographers since we only have 1 model.

The basics you'll need is:

- Flash
- Cactus V2 triggers (my friend uses that so in a way since pocket wizards are not compatible so I bought them as well)
- If possible light stand & umbrella

I'm still relatively new at this myself but I'd be more than happy to pass on stuff I do know.

Yeah I think so. If there's a lot of people then I might just go there to meet people and maybe shoot a little on the side. Personally I just really want to shoot a ton. I'm so addicted.

Tom emailed me earlier about maybe grabbing food. If our crew ain't too big it would be nice to get dinner.
