Last Sunday, myself and 46 other photographers from the Austin Strobist flickr group got together for several hours of chaos shooting.
We had pooled our money and rented a swank downtown nightclub, Vicci for 5 hours.
We divided into 4 teams, each with approx. 10-12 photographers. We then rotated through the lighting setups and the models.
I was lead for team #4, and we started with shooting Zion - a model I’ve worked with before, who is great fun to work with. Full of energy, and always ready to laugh.
Next up were Carole and Garrett, a modeling couple here in town. They were great to work with, you got some more freedom in composition and posing, since you had two people to work with. I actually spent a few extra minutes after shooting with them to get a shot I’d had in mind:
The third model we shot was Michelle, a new transplant to Austin. She’s originally from Brazil and moved here less than a month ago.
The fourth model we shot with was Jessa - she’s been to the Strobist meets in the past. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any good shots from the shoot with her - we were experimenting with the lighting and when I reviewed my photos afterwards, I wasn’t happy with any of them.
5-6 hours of hectic creativity later, we all ended up going to Manuels (sp?) downtown for some dinner.
Much fun was had by all.

I blogged yesterday about the photo shoot I did in my living room.
Having been too tired and sore from jumping up and down off the floor, I neglected to clean up - so tonight, when we got home from watching the excellent ”The Kingdom,” her first comment was ”Do you want to watch some Table TV?”
Heh, punny.

Then I did a lot of this:

The Strobist blog is currently doing the “Lighting 102” semi-course/follow-at-your-own-speed-and-learn-something.
For those of you who know me, you might/should know that I am fairly interested in photography, but lately for whatever reason, it’s fallen on the back burner more than it should.
I fully intend to follow along with the Lighting 102 “class” and to participate in the assignments and lessons, but I might need a nudge or two from you, dear readers, to make sure I stay on track and shoot more than I’m currently doing.
The End.
