Details: This is another in what I hope to be a semi regular occurring street shoot. Everyone seems to enjoy these so we might as well continue this Friday. We can start at 7pm and maybe stay until 11 or go to the social around 9:30 or 10:00 if anyone is interested. If anyone has any alternate location ideas please voice them here. Right now, Friday is calling for "Chance of Showers" so lets play it by ear.



What: Queen Street Stranger Strobist
When: Fri. May 28th, 2010
Time: 7PM
Where: Queen & Peter Street
Bring: Light stands, strobes, business cards or paper and pen. Please bring empty grocery/plastic bags to fill with rocks/etc. to weigh down your stands. There is a collection of rocks near by.


Don't let a lack of stands or strobes keep you from attending, we have Canon and Nikon shooters. If you would like to come down without any lighting, please leave a message here so that you can find a partner with some lighting.

I have a set of cactus v2s and a 580ex2, hope that is sufficient.

Does any of you want to meet up around the area (downtown) before the actual shoot? :D I am actually free after work and there is plenty of time to kill.

Cheers,

Antonio

Crap, yeah it went from 20% POP yesterday to 60% today. So this event will probably be canceled. I'll update this post on Friday afternoon.

Looks like it's clearing up. Right now they are calling for Sunny to partly cloudy with temperatures around 20 degrees.

I'm sure the heat will bring out some "interesting" characters!
Looking forward to it.

There is one right on the corner we will be standing on (Queen and Soho) to be exact. I may have a parking spot at my building on Peter/Wellington. But there's a Jay game tonight so I can't guarantee anything PM me if you want to try my building.

It was fun! We had 7 people turn out. We had about 5 light stands up. Third time out, we started to recognize people we've talked to or taken pictures of before lol.

It was a bit of a slow start but things were in full swing by around 9pm. Met lots of great people and had lots of fun.

We left just after 11pm and Alice was nice enough to take some of us to the docks at Cherry St. for some cityscape photos.
