Last night was the second meeting for the FastTrack group, Los Angeles, lead by my good friend Leila Jones and graciously hosted by Janell Mithani. Today wasn’t a normal group meeting though. We headed to the hills to do a night shoot. Many of the people that attended were either new or still felt they were new to photography! Talk about throwing them into the fire, by the time we got to the location, it was almost pitch black with very little street light to keep us sane. Flash photography in pitch black generally doesn’t yield very good results. I brought my Sunpak 383 flashes and RF-602 remote triggers to do a little off camera lighting. I had an extra trigger so I shared with anyone that wanted to try it out. I think I sold a lot of them on it. Considering my entire one light setup only cost < $150. Some of the photos I saw from them were great being their first time ever working with off camera flash! Anyways, here’s a couple of my photos, I spent more time helping and answering questions with the occasional shot squeezed in. Oh and it was a bit chilly too..
Special thanks to Leila’s son and his girlfriend for stepping in to model!
