We’re going to present the latest DSLR news from the Photo Marketing Association conference in Las Vegas, which will be starting the day after the COBA meeting.

Lighting Workshop

Bring your lighting gear to this week’s COBA meeting! With member help, we’re going to learn firsthand how to set up and use external flashes, umbrellas, flash meters, diffusers and more. I’ve compiled a list of the equipment that we currently have and need:

What we have:

  • Umbrellas (30 and 45 inch)
  • Lightstands (2)
  • Flashes (550EX, 420EX, ST-E2 Transmitter)
  • Reflectors (silver and gold)
  • Diffusers (Lumi-Quest MidiBouncer)
  • Stools
  • Tungsten lamps (2)
  • Gray cards, white cards

What we need more of:

  • Diffusers (different brands like Stoffen OmniBounce)
  • Lightstands
  • Umbrellas
  • Reflectors (different colors)
  • Flashes

What we need:

  • Softboxes
  • Flash Meters
  • Backdrops
  • Large foam core boards

If you have any of these items, please bring them to the meeting! If we have enough equipment, we have multiple areas set aside for different lighting demonstrations.

Finally, if you would like to help with the set-up and instruction, please let me know!
