Top Our Group Shot: German Edition
UPDATE: See the very cool improvised camera boom they rigged for the shot.Frequent contributor Bert Stephani, who blogs at Confessions of a Photographer recently popped over to Frankfurt to lead a little lighting meetup.
Bert, who is recovering from getting his camera bag stolen in Spain, decided to riff a little on the meetup group shot theme. For this shot, they used no fewer than twenty flashes, all synched by BioWizards.
BioWizards?
Hit Bert's post for more info.
And FWIW, I have been planning a little local group shot of my own. If you are local to DC, I'll be trolling for volunteers soon (not yet). Hey, somebody's gotta knock Bert off.
UPDATE: Here is a video from the meetup:

Speaking of meetups, some pretty cool videos have been coming in lately from the various get-togethers. I have posted link to search for them on YouTube. Just make sure your title, tags or description contains the words "strobist" and "meetup" and you should show up in the results.

David,
If, by chance, you're thinking of a Sunday group photo event, I'd drive in just for the halibut.
Hi David! Thanks for mentioning this group shot here, I had the pleasure to help with the ladder setup http://flickr.com/photos/geopirat/2293737438/in/set-72157603984141277/ and to be in the picture. We had great fun doing this.
Go ahead and knock us off if you can ;-)

yeah David, Kevin Clark here of the Post. I'm interested in the DC meetup. I know of at least two other at the Post also interested. Let me know when.
There will be a meetup of sorts in Rochester March 13-15 for the NPPA Northern Short Course. David taught last year and this year's lineup is equally sweet. Check it out: http://www.northernshortcourse.com/index.php
Woo Hoo! I'm in DC - yay! When wil you post the meet-up info?
David-

Here's another reader in DC willing to be a volunteer. Let me know the time and place, and I'll be there!

being a DC resident, I would definitely be interested in knowing when this meet.
Cool. It's really cool.
Hey David. I'm in Southeastern PA, but drive to Baltimore, DC, and New York pretty frequently. Just as long as I'm not being paid to be somewhere, count me in for the meetup / group shot.
And no one has commented on the 'Bio Wizards' yet? lol
I had to go read the blog if nothing else just to find out what those were!
I guess I can say I HAVE used the 'Bio Wizard' triggers before! lol
If you need another body, flash, camera, whatever...count me in the group shot.

I would like to see yours when it's done. You totally made me wonder what this "BioWizards" thing was too.
BioWizards... geez.. I totally fell for that one. I'll trade you a pre-owned BioWizard for your carbon-based voice-activated light stand..
too funny.
Let me know when the DC meetup is. Might make the drive from Philly.

BioWizard = finger. Simple semantics.
Another local victim, er, volunteer here at your disposal.
Kurt
I'm yet another DC local who wants to add his Speedlights to the fun! Sign me up!
If you're interested in finding DC residents, don't forget to check out the DC/Baltimore/NOVA strobist group.
I know Steve ask about you showing up for pretty much all our meets, so if you meet him you can give him some s**t about it. ;-)
