ErinKC Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 Ali, let me know if you want some fill lights! I can swipe some from work for the weekend. This sounds like a blast!!! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 Ali, let me know if you want some fill lights! I can swipe some from work for the weekend. This sounds like a blast!!! I'll probably bring my speedlites but bring your lights too. Are they continuous? I hope anyone coming is going to bring their equipment and be ready to shoot. Last year we had a feeding frenzy of ideas with everyone coming up with fun, new ways to shoot the MINIs. I'm really excited about this years shoot and our new locations that Mike has worked so hard to find. I'll be bringing my Canon 5D, a couple of lenses, Speedlites, light stands, umbrellas, tripod etc. But don't let that stop you if all you have is a phone camera then bring that!!! What kind of equipment is everyone else planning to bring? Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
ErinKC Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 I have a ton of sb900's (Nikon) and a bunch of continuous lights that double as strobes so anything you guys need. I have a ton of stuff just sitting around at work. Umbrellas, soft boxes, d4's if you need full frame. I'm here to help but will plan on bringing lighting stuff but let me know if you are missing something. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I'm here to help but will plan on bringing lighting stuff but let me know if you are missing something. Hopefully Craig will come too, he shoots Nikon. Are you a photographer? I love continuos lights, I have a bank of LED lights that I use frequently. My Canon is a full frame, its just an older model. By older model it's about 3 or 4 years old, practically ancient in the camera world. Right now I don't have the money to upgrade, but would probably go used again and still be a little behind in technology. I can't wait to see your new MINI. I haven't seen the copper color yet :top: Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

So I'll bring as many as I can carry out. Just have to figure a power source. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
