I couldn't help but chuckle a bit at this sight.



The hired pro is the one in the blue coat kneeling behind the umbrella.

At least everyone stayed out of his way while he got his shots of the homecoming court.

Then, he courteously waited for quite some time before he picked up his light and left, allowing everyone else to get their snapshots as the court held their pose for him.

I can only assume he was paid by the job, and not his sales.
Thanks for the laugh ;-)

Just like my last wedding... the b & g were getting ready to cut the cake and I got pushed and squeezed out of position.
 
I've been "that pro" many times using two umbrellas with one strobe set to optical slave.

every time one of those yahoos shoots off their P&S, my slave strobe fires.

I suppose I could fix it using an additional wireless receiver, but that can get pricey.

where everyone in the photo could post their favorite shot from that event. I bet everyone would be able to identify the pro's image immediately, and maybe then people would have a small idea of what a difference it makes to hire a pro for important events.

I might be able to make that happen, actually.

I think I'll put out a call for photos and see what comes in . . .

Would the strobe blow out their shot if it fired at the same time as their flash? (poetic justice...)

All you have to do is leave the slave on on the strobe and they'll make it fire everytime, and yes it will over expose. :o)

I do events sometimes (Awards banquets and such, set up portrait shots)where I have to use the slave on one of the flashes and hear the people saying "I don't know what's wrong with my camera" after taking several shots.
