Btw, I'm planning a trip for Memorial Day weekend (driving distance only)... and I've narrowed it down to two places: Boston and Nashville. Of course I'll bring my camera along, but I was wondering if you guys suggest going to one city over the other?

Tennessee is always just a place i've driven through to get somewhere else

I want to make my way to Boston some time soon as it seems very neat to me.

guys, let me know if you're going to be in Boston and I'll show you guys around

the "T" (train/transit) is the best way to get around in the city

So... I got Zack's workshop videos re-encoded for the web. I just need to work on the website now before I post the link for all of you... it should be up soon though. Thanks The1 for the videos! FYI, I'm still waiting for the last one to be put up before the workshop is complete.

haha, i think they forgot about the last video

Chewy734 · 05-11-2011, 09:46 AM

sadly, that wouldn't surprise me the least bit...

Chewy734 · 05-11-2011, 06:30 PM

For those of you who missed the special online photography workshop by Zack, I have recoded the video for web streaming. Personally, I think he did an awesome job explaining the basics in Day 1 and then going onto strobe/lighting stuff in detail, with many examples, on Day 2.

I highly recommend watching the series, because I know I learned a lot, and he's a wonderful instructor!

Anyways, here's the skinny...

inconsiderate bastards!!! could have gotten her for a photoshoot!

scollins · 05-13-2011, 12:10 AM

Working my way through the Zack segments, and I noticed a few things:
Zack shoots like I do, using the left eye.
The class was in Seattle! Damnit, I could have been there LIVE!

What honey? Oh, nothing just reading the BMW forums, nothing to see here!

The1 · 05-13-2011, 08:58 AM

haha, and that's why you photoshoot them

as close as you can get without touching.....

Chewy734 · 05-13-2011, 08:59 AM

haha

The1 · 05-13-2011, 04:51 PM

Woot!!!! picked up my 135 F2L today!!! can't wait to try it out... Much smaller in size then i had expected, but that's good for making it an easier lens to have around people and not making them feel uncomfortable like a big hand canon would.

Chewy734 · 05-13-2011, 04:53 PM

cool! Looking forward to reading your review.
