While I am in the US, I am giving a small chat about getting the flash off the camera at the local Pictage user group meeting (pug) at Java Vino tomorrow at 7pm in Atlanta GA. These meetings are set up by Pictage so that users can get together and network and talk about business. I'd love to invite you to join us! Please come to visit if you can :) The meeting is at: THURSDAY June 5th 7pm-9pm at Java Vino in the room upstairs! 579 N. Highland Ave NE Atlanta GA 30307 ***UPDATE*** Thanks to Jen & Adam Linke for setting everything up. The PUG meeting was pretty successful. It seemed like there was 30 people there. I hope that everybody enjoyed my presentation and our crazy and fun approach to shooting wedding photography with the off camera flash. Hopefully, we can do it again. Thanks to Mark Adams from LaCour for taking this photo! Check out the Atlanta PUG website for more info! Here is a little FF for your soul :) Do you ever shoot in full sunlight? So bright that the bride needs a parasol to block the sun? How do you actually light your subjects with off camera flash and make the subject blend with the ambient? F14 1/200 24mm In this photo situation, I used an off slave triggered by pocket wizards set to FULL power and blasted away as we walked from one location to another. This was one of those shots between shots. I didnt set this moment up, just kept shooting away. The light from the slave flash blends with the natural light, almost such that you don't even think about how they are lit. This kind of trick fools the eye because the blend of the fake lighting source with that of the sun seem almost 100% cohesive. I wrote about this same technique in this post, for more research on the subject. Cheers & hope to see you Thursday night (6/5) at 7pm! mateo
