Will be there with a wireless trigger for canon


Do you think I can use it, too? I have NOTHING exept for my Canon+lens+tripod :/


I'll probably be there (as long as the weather holds up), so I can share mine.

It's good when it gets darker and it doesn't hurt to put your camera on a tripod unless you're really confident with your hand-held skills :D

flashing people sounds a lot more interesting than oh-you-have-to-come-last-minute-dinner-thingy, so I'm now 'maybe' to see if I can wiggle my way out of that within next couple of hours.

How about when you drag the shutter?


second curtain sync with speed not longer than 1/15 and you might get by, depending on the lens

Alright guys, looks like the weather is gonna hold up. I'll meet everyone at the North corner of Queen and Peter ( in front of the hot dog stand).

If you're bringing light stands, please remember to bring something to wheigh it down, an empty bag you can put a brick into, whatever.

Please bring business cards or some paper and a pen, if you're going to convince people to let you take a picture of them, you might want to give them your e-mail addy so that you can send them a copy of the photo.

Thanks again to Bart for organizing this. We definitely should do more of this!

Here's a photo of Kikko, who took really good ambient light pictures (when there still was ambient light!)

More to come!

Supposedly the original is the best, the flavoured/coloured stuff gives you the runs.
