Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting The Strobist. Myself and 30 or so other photography geeks got to rub shoulders as we learned from the master of off camera flash.
I am still processing all the photography lighting nuggets David hurled at us in a torrent but the stuff that stuck to my grey matter is already spawning a hundred different lighting ideas. Of course it has also inspired me to get myself further into debt for gear I “must” now purchase.
If you get the opportunity to attend one of Davids seminars, do so. Even if you have to sell your tv, pet or family member.
Now I am looking forward to blowing the dust off my strobes and getting stuck into Lighting 102. Listening and observing is only part of the story with learning a skill like this, you learn best when you listen, observe, do and teach. I’ll be doing L102 and “teaching” right here. You have been warned

Ahhhhh, so I’m assuming your the guy that stood up and introduced yourself as ‘the blogger’! (or maye not)
I’m Eric, the kid of the Sunday Seminar. What a odd coincidence!
What’s the must have gear? I’m in process of piecing the starving student gear myself so please share!
@Eric – Yeah I am the blogger guy
@Anon – Shoot-through umbrellas (rather than reflective), car-rechargeable nimh flash batteries (rather than standard duracells), black drinking straws (for grids) …
