Ninja Photo Workshop Finito!
Nikon D700 24-70mm @ 26mm . ISO250 1/250 f5.6
Thanks to all the Ninja’s that came out for our first-ever Ninja Workshop!
We were honored with all the Ninjas in attendance ranging from full-time College students to seasoned pros. We know we gave it all we had and glad to hear the great feedback from the one-day of crazy learning and fun 
Special thanks to Laura for sharing the behind the scenes pics below!
We found ourselves in a typically pedestrian college lecture room and loved demonstrating simple lighting techniques which allow us to quickly create dramatic images in un-dramatic surroundings. From this:
To this:
Nikon D700 70-200mm @155mm . ISO400 1/250 f7.1
and this:
Nikon D700 24-70mm @38mm . 1/250 f5
Gelling our flash (full CTO) also allowed us to incorporate the ceiling lights into dramatic affect as seen in the top-most image too.
Walking outside gave us a chance to shoot in shade with our Quantum T5Dr’s.

I can’t emphasizing how much we love having shoot-position control of both wireless TTL and manual modes with the new Quantum Pilots and Quantum lights!
How would any DQ workshop be complete without shooting in full-out notacloudinthesky sun?

YIKES it was HOT and sunny out!! Great to be able to balance the sun at 8ft with our Quantums!
Super-thanks to our ridiculously-good-looking models and uber-friends Ken & Cherie!! Thanks for flying in from NYC and hangin with us in Vancouver! it was AWESOMENESS to spend time with you guys
Does that Ken guy look familiar? He’s also known as the Renaissance (Album) man himself, but should *really* be called “Party in a Box” 
Thanks to our sponsors for making it happen: Renaissance Albums, Quantum Lighting, and Carol & the gang at Beau Photo for putting it all together. Nothing like working with great people and products to pull of an amazing workshop.
Ninja’s-in-training: Thanks for coming out and joining us!! Can’t wait to see what y’all do with your new-found knowledge and QuiKlips too!!
In Love,
dq
