Strobist London Workshop Review

by Chris Garrett on May 14, 2007

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) … ;)
