Can we get permission to use the computer and projector? If so, we could set things up to shoot in tethered mode (for cameras with that capability; I know this is a pretty standard feature on Canons. Anyone know about Nikons?). This would give instant feedback for the group on the relationship of the lighting to the image.
Would those with experience be willing to do mini-presentations about different effects and how to light for them?
You mentioned models and last night you mentioned them working for tips. Any recommendation on what a reasonable tip would be?

"You mentioned models and last night you mentioned them working for tips. Any recommendation on what a reasonable tip would be? "
I am planning on having five models available for the whole time. Though it would be purely optional, I think a suggested tip of $3-5 per photographer would be appropriate. Any thoughts?

I am looking forward to this one. I have some lower end studio equipment I would be happy to bring, but if there are others with better things I have no problem being relegated to backup status.
As for the tip price, $5/ea is what came to mind when it was mentioned last night. Happy to chip in my part.

I would be interested in seeing things with lower end stuff. I have none and lower end is where I would most likely be starting if/when I take that step, so it would be nice to see what I can do with things in my price range.

I've got a couple of el' cheapo lights so I can easily show how to get great results from a set of lights that can be had for under $200. I will make a point to show this.

Good idea. Maybe one of our setups could be strobist style: battery strobes. DIY setups, etc.

Lighting 101 from the Strobist would be an excellent primer if you are starting from scratch and want to maximize your time at the shoot.

Some talented people there. Fortunately we should be close to 110v power so we won't have to hook our lights up to the car battery. ;-)

Pearlseyes,
Like all of our Photowalks, this event is for everyone. Some of the most remarkable images in our flickr pool come from folks who are trying something for the first time. Come, hang out, ask questions, bring your camera just in case.
The whole point of Photowalking is to check the ego at the door and have some fun. Nothing more complicated than that.
I'm looking forward to meeting all the girl-shooters on the team too. AT

Hey guys,
this sounds interesting, and, by the way, I am new here -- in this group!
I would love the opportunity to meet the people in the group, and to take a few pictures while I am at it.
By the way, what type of church is this? Is it like an older, traditional church, or a modern, gym-type of church?
Does it have any large windows for available, window light, or will we have to work with studio lights?
Please let me know.
Thanks again.

Welcome. It is a newer church in a converted shopping center. The room we are in has full length windows down the side that have curtains on them. They could be used for available light, but we are planning on 3-4 sets with studio lights and backdrops.

Rich,
I have a set of three mono-lights (White Lightning) and a background stand with a brown muslin. If you think you'll need them, let me know.

I'm a noob with a decent camera. I'm going to plan on coming. I think it is great that you guys set all this up.
It will also be good to meet you all. I stumbled across LeggNet several months ago and have been watching it daily since. Links on the page led me to additional sites (Scott, Ann) and it will be nice to meet you all so that I don't feel like a stalker.

Hey everyone!
Just to let you know, a bunch of the regulars from the Utah Photo Safari are planning on attending as well! Sounds like a great day!
Since I regularly put our group's events on the Flickr Blog, I did add Photowalking SLC to the event title and linked it to this thread as well as to our group site. I hope that's ok!
I'll be bringing all of my Olympus gear for the gear tables.
Cheers,

Hi. I'm one of those Utah Photo Safari people, when I can get time off my regular shooting schedule. I'm a full-time professional photographer. I shoot a ton of nightlife, and working into some fairly regular fashion work, as well. My rig is very minimal -- Nikon D80, some speedlights, and various stands, booms, etc...
My studio is very mobile, and I'm happy to cart the whole rig out to show people what I do and how I do it. =)
If anybody wants to help me out with a ride, I'd be thrilled to tag along and meet some more Utah photographers.

Do you have room for another beginner? I'm new to this group and just found it via the Utah Photo Safari group on Meetup (haven't been to one of their events yet though). I just bought my first DSLR about a month ago and I'm trying to learn all I can about portrait photography. This sounds like a great opportunity even if I just watch.
Thanks!

Yup, I'm another Utah Photo Safari-an up for the shoot.
Eric, where do you like? I can help you out if you live in the southern end of the valley.

I talked to Rich last night about logistics. We will make room for anyone who wants to play. Emphasis on fun, especially for our newest members and people who haven't ever touched a studio light before.
We aren't bringing any soapboxes for self-appointed experts. Shooters who have a strong strobe background are firmly invited to help make this a safe zone for exploration and discovery for all. And to use the time to stretch your own comfort zone in a supportive environment.
Logistics: models will be there from 11 to 2. We think we will have at least 5 set-ups. If you can bring a portable backdrop STAND, please let me or Rich know. A few volunteers to clean up and restore the sanctuary chairs into their original configuration will be appreciated. There is a Greek burger/gyro shack in the same strip mall for noshing. You might consider labeling your gear. Bring any props you want too.
Suggest at least $5 for the model tip pool, which will be split five ways.

I can bring a portable backdrop stand. If I can find a ride. I live a few blocks north of Temple Square.

So any newcomer is allowed? I'm just getting into photography and would LOVE to come watch and learn and take some pictures.

FWIW, I'm new to lighting but will be bringing my Nikon SB-800, SB-600, silver and white 36" umbrellas, stands and a couple of old Honeywell optical slaves.
Someone mentioned a gear tryout and I'm up for that...I'll have my Nikon bodies, a variety of lenses and such.

Wow, it looks like this will definitely be a well attended event. The room is plenty large enough to accommodate five different sets, so that won't be a concern.
After a few minutes or so of meet-n-greet, we'll divide up into groups and head out to the various setups. We can then maybe think about rotating after a period of time so everyone has a chance to dry different lighting equipment.
I picked up the door prize loot from Pictureline today, and they have given us over 20 Nikon or Canon branded accessories and/or swag to give away.
If you are bringing lighting gear for us to use, please try and be on location by 10:45 am. A few of us will be there beginning at 9:30 to move chairs and prepare the room.
I have six amateur models who have committed to helping us. I have used five of them in my stock work, so they are comfortable in front of the camera. A few of them are young (early teens) but are excited to help out.
If anyone has problems finding the location and needs to contact us, give me a call on my cell phone at 801-259-3500.
I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday!
-Rich

Now that the event has happened, would it be possible to get a basic rundown of the lighting equipment used in each of the areas? I'm very interested in knowing a bit more about the different setups, and how the affected the different pictures.

Yes indeed, it was so nice to see and try so many lighting setups but more importantly it was great to meet everyone. Thanks to the folks with the studio setups for allowing us to use your gear and for sharing tips.

I was just coming to ask the very thing that Kishkumen asked (we must be brothers or something). I would also very much like to know what each setup contained. **please be cheap... please be cheap**
