The Wife had me take some pics, to raise a few more bucks for Hope Pregnancy Care Centers banquet. (western themed)



I was told there would be a nice big back drop or stage of some sort...



So I'm home trying to figure out the wireless flash of the SB800:huh



And she sends me this pic of the set-up...:scratch :rolleyes

I was like, "what the heck am I going to do with this??":dunno



So I set up the SB 800 into an umbrella, and used our 1000w video light with a softbox.



Tethered the MBP to my D300, using Aperture:thumb



And snapped away, and printed the pics out while they waited.

    Nice job!!! I think the sepia toned treatment works very well for the theme.

    Thanks, it was fun.

    I love how well the tethering to Aperture works, never had to touch the camera!

    And also impressed with the quality of prints I was getting from the Canon Pixma 620B printer.

    Thanks, one of the retired guys volunteered to make it, he made it from wood, even the lock, then I found out he chucked in the dumpster after the event.headscratch.gifne_nau.gif

    It was a western theme anyway, so everybody was dressed up already, thats why so many were willing to participate.

    One guy said he done the same sorta thing, he pre-arranged with Walgreens or whoever does good prints cheap, then as he got the photos, he would tether the laptop to his cell phone, and be having the prints done before the event was over.

    Either way having the prints there helps sell them I think, and I also offered to email any to whoever wanted them.
