Minime and Me In The Krog Tunnel
Check out the 3 other shots here…
My kid’s a pimp.
We are taking over the ATL while the wife and 2 girls are outta town.
Oh how I wish I had me some pocket wizards to move that light around.
I used my Nikon D300. 15 dollar tripod. SB-800 bouncing straight off the ceiling. It was right in front of us.
Very rookie setup. But as Zarias taught me… DO NOT BUY ANY GEAR YOU CANNOT BUY CASH.
So I take heed and get better with what I have until I get paid for a few shoots and can get me some toys.
What is your ghetto setup photogs?

Los
RAIN IT DOWN
Canon xti and a lens. Natural light baby.
Love that shot! Thanks for sharing it and your setup with us!
Have you checked out the Strobist Lighting 101 series of blog posts? I've only gotten through a couple of them so far, but thought they do a great job of discussing lots of lighting topics… -> http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/03/lighting-101...
I love me some strobist.
But after THe One Light Workshop… I think I have too much in my head.
a D300 w/ SB-800 isn't exactly ghetto! That's pretty nice gear if you ask me.
one little suggestion, instead of pocket wizards you should check out Alienbees CyberSync options. They're a fraction of the price and do the same job. I got mine back in the fall and love them. There's so much more flexibility!
I personally shoot with a D200 and SB-80DX (a generation behind your setup)…I have some studio gear, but most of the time I stick to just the D200 with some nice glass and leave the flash at home.
Dude. Thanks for that tip. Have they been good to you? I heard they fail once in a while?
I'll second the CyberSyncs. You can get 3 of them (1 transmitter and 2 receivers) for about the cost of 1 PW. That said, with the 300 and 800 you've already got what you need for off camera lighting. Use the pop up flash as commander and take your 800 off camera. Either use TTL or manual; pretty reliable and the price is right.
P.S. I'm the guy who gave you the ride to the MARTA station after Zack's workshop back in Nov.
Nikon D40 and that's it. I do have a tripod, but I don't think I have ever used it.
I hope that is a lens cap in your pocket…or are you back on the Copenhagen?
Haahahahahahhaha. Yea. Lens cap

wow!we call that "dipping"here in the NW
Pentax K100D w/ Tamron 28-200 zoom lens. Built-in annoying flash. I don't get to use it much because towncrier86 uses it for his job. But when I DO get to play with it, I LOVE it. I'm still learning. Mistakes can sometimes be cool.
Yea. the one where he is turned around was a mistake. But it turned out cool!!!
All you new school punks. I'm using my wife's old stuff she doesn't want any more! Canon 20D baby! Whoop whoop! And a Cannon 430EX to light the way. I will say I have a nice tripod, although I can't tell you anything about it since all the model stuff wore off. My wife's the real photographer though, not me. I just play around when I get bored.
Rock it like it's 1996 baby. Own it.
The 20D is a great camera! A little over three years ago it was the camera to get. Still a great camera. It will be a long time before I upgrade. I would rather have some great lenses than a new camera!!!
P.S. I should clarify that I would like to have an upgraded camera PLUS some amazing lenses. Since I can only afford one, I'll go with a lens because the 20D will do anything I need it too!
i've got a canon digital rebel xti…but i don't know how to use it to its capabilities. you said "get paid for a few shoots"…are you for hire?
Yea. I've resorted to anything but sellingmy children for a few extra bucks.
I've been actually pretty busy doing small paid shoots.

sweet. can you email or DM me some prices?
Will do.
Nikon D60, SB-600 flash and a cheap tripod.
I agree, learn what you can do with what you have before you go crazy.
I've got some of my latest pics on my site.
GREAT SHOTS!!!
Thanks man.
Should mentioned I like these shots.
What did you use PS? Any Actions you prefer?
You have stepped up your photography game big time.
Seriously, all of those photo's look awesome that you took today.
When I'm in town with my girl, I'm requesting a photo shoot.
Ey?
Bring it.

Great photo shots bro!
TYVM!!!
Nikon D80
18 – 200mm 3.5
50mm 1.8 (awesome…only $150 or less)
SB600 w/ a omni bounce on it
tripod
light stand
the SB 600 will go wireless, so I just use it on a light stand and only use the tripod if i'm shooting myself (rarely happens)
I'm definitely not suffering fro G.A.S.
but I'm dying for some pocket wizards and one more flash…oh, and a second camera body…oh and an umbrella or soft box..oh and a………………..
awesome
Canon Digital Rebel XTi.
Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Telephoto.
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Fixed Focus.
Janky $20 tripod.
Janky $20 camera bag.
And then Photoshop CS and LightRoom to make me look like a much photographer than I really am.
I hear you
These are great pics! Love little Los with the lollipop
Great eye Los.
Have a Panasonic DMC-TZ5. Hub got it when he went to Malawi on a mission trip and it takes geat pics – simple to use and does videos as well.
Ok not from ATL – what is the KROG??
bam. Work it.

Yea. I am a major Magic Sharp guy in the Kubota pack. And then I mess with popping them with a few layers
I'll have to check that out. I've been using a few sets from Nichole Van – faded image has been my favorite thus far. Any others you'd recommend?
By the way I was wondering what WordPress plugin you're using for twitter?
Thanks Los.
canon 5D used to use a 20D up until a few months ago..I rent most of my lens because I am totally cash based..
but I love natural light and I am experimenting with some strobes I bought on ebay from some guy in Japan..I have some stuff on my blog too.
Wow. You are really good!!! Amazing shots. I went to your websites and fell in love. Great job.
you are way too kind. Thanx so much.
your stuff on flickr is fun too!! I love the one where your boy looks back at the camera. Aren't you having a blast?
40D and a 50mm 1.4 prime lens. Love it!
Lusting after a 1.4 mmmmmmmm
It amazes me how little light you can shoot in! My current lust is for a 580exll flash and an umbrella!
I just got an umbrella. Just looking for a way to get my flash off camera.
yeah i just started looking into pocket wizards and stuff. not sure how good they are but i was also looking into canon's st-e2 wireless deal because it's a little cheaper. i hear pocket wizards are sick though!
Carlos,
No one would argue that pocket wizards aren't great but if you want to get the flash off the camera in the mean time (while you polish your skills) you should check out these remote triggers

I have a set (and an extra receiver for a second flash) and I've been very happy with them…. And at $30 bucks for the receiver/transmitter set, you can't beat it (PWs are around $180 each!)
Wow Wes. I'm all over it. Thanks!!!
Nikon D50 (now obsolete), $25 tripod and the cheapest of Nikon flashes (SB-400). Can get caught up in the light until we go mad, but to me it's all about the composition and object. Those (and the lighting to me) seemed great in these shots, Los. Keep having fun, and thanks for sharing!
Nikon D70, and I just recently got the D90. Use the SB 800 but I also have a set of studio lights that I don't use enough (octobox, standard umbrella, etc)
Oh yea, and I have some of those fun reflectors too!
D300, 24-70mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.4, SB-800, Sunpak 120j, Vivitar 285, 28" Softbox, 60" Shoot through Umbrella, Set Of Pocket Wizards. It has taken me a year and a half and a lot of shoots to get it all pieced together. But I am loving my strobist set up. One Light DVD's changed my photo life and perspective.
Too bad somebody painted over the Bob Marley mural on the other side. Nice pi
I know the Bible says I can't covet, but I've been jealous ever since I saw you got your SLR cam. I'm still rockin' the Canon SD450 (5MP) point-n-shoot.
However, I agree with your boy ZARIUS and I'll wait 'til I have the cash in hand. Until then, thanks for letting me live out my photography dreams through your blog…
i've got some mad stuff in the techie bag that i received last night from my predecessor.there a sony hd flip and and some digital cameras. but we've used lanterns for shoots in the woods, now we use headlamps and I have a construction lamp that just boosts sunlight on the deal.
I roll with a Canon EOS 5D and the 24-105 f/4L that comes as part of the kit and 580EX II Speedlite. I love the full-size 35mm image sensor!!! (I bought it literally days before the 5D Mark II was announced, and now I'm trying to sell my 5D so I can get a Mark II that can record HD video. If anyone's interested in a great deal…)
sony a100 with a built in flash I've got a tripod that has never left the bag, maybe I should get it out?

Seriously, did they let you and your wife pick out the cutest one or something?
Los, could you give some tips on post-processing of your pics (PhotoShop?) Love the Mini-me pics here and on Flickr.
