Our assignment for this month is low-key portraits. I wanted to take advantage of the mid-month meeting for people to see how easy it is to shoot with natural...
Nikon gear and anything that could be used by a Nikon camera. Actually I could have brought my Nikonos II. I totally forgot about that. J Devin Skelton ...
Like Rick I was worried about driving up the steep hill to my house, so I didn't go to the meeting. I agree with Blake that you don't need fancy gear to get a...
I like the idea of the workshops for our group. I would like to learn some different type of posing ( full face, 1/2 face ,3/4 face and diferent full body pose...

Count me, Sophie. Magic wings is always my favorite. I don't think we have to be in for the early morning. But let's make one thing clear. I went there...
Yes, Flash on the camera is fine. They will not allow lighting on stands after 9am. I agree that tripods/monopods really do not help that much. The benefit...
