Giving a little back to Strobist – Free Stuff

]]>

, originally uploaded by ZingShots.

The strobist “movement” has inspired me a lot lately. Doing big things with small lights is something that did not seem possible just a few years ago. I was used to using big studio strobes to do serious work. David Hobby changed all that for me and inspired me to not only do really cool stuff with small strobes but to also give back to the community.

So here it is. I am doing a little spring cleaning and found my old “Poverty Wizards”. These are Chinese made radio triggers you can purchase cheaply on Ebay. When I saw them I was reminded about all I had learned and how much fun it was to get these triggers and really start exploring off camera lighting. I wanted to give that to someone just starting out. You can own this set of 3 receivers, 1 transmitter and 3 Vivitar 285 (not HV) cables just by posting a comment. That’s right post a comment and I will pick a winner at random on Sunday April 19th.
If you need cables for other flashes Lon at FlashZebra has everything you need! I have not used these triggers in a while but they worked flawlessly when I did use them.

Good luck!

Fun with the Fortinet Gang

]]> Had a great time hanging out and photographing the Fortinet management team today. Photographing executives can be a challenge, not so much with the photography but with the egos. The Fortinet team was great though and made my job really easy. Special thanks to Jennifer Leggio of Fortinet for helping me wrangle people and for being my lighting test model.
