Hi and welcome back.
If you missed last Saturday’s workshop at Studio 28 on 27 in NYC, you missed out on a great event!
We shot all speed lights and just had a blast with simple gear. Before I post images, I’m going to post an updated 2014 small flash gear kit.
I took the train to NYC with only two bags: one for my camera and flashes and one for lighting modifiers. I pretty much traveled with a full studio in just these two bags.
So here’s the gear I brought for OCF:
Speedlights:
1 Nikon SB910 with SD9 Battery Pack
2 Nikon SB800’s with SD8A Battery Packs
Phottix Ares Triggers
1” Black Gaffer Tape
Roller Bag:
Tenba 36” Roller Bag
6 Manfrotto 1052 BAC Quickstacker lightstands
1 Manfrotto 122B Background/kicker lightstand
2 Matthews 40” Hollywood Grip Arms
6 Lumopro LP633 or Photek Umbrella Brackets
2 Photoflex 45” Convertible Umbrellas
1 Westcott Apollo 43” Orb
1 Westcott Apollo Strip Softbox
2 Rogue Flashbender XL Pros
1 Rogue Flashbender XL Pro with Grid attachment, due out in January 2015
2 Large Rogue Flashbenders
2 Rogue Gel kits
1 Rogue Grid
1 California Sunbounce Micro Mini Silver/White Reflector
1 California Sunbounce Enterprise Grip head
1 California Sunbounce Sunmover Silver/White Reflector
Extra gear in bag:
1 Leatherman Utility tool from Lowe’s
6 Spring hand clamps
Bag of Zip Ties, misc binder clips, Velcro
Now to some images:

And then we did over and under commercial on a white wall. Key was a Westcott Orb, kicker or fill was a Westcott Strip
I’ll be running another one of these OCF workshops in January back in NYC. If you are interested, stay tuned and tell your friends. We did a lot in only a few hours.
Till next time, happy shooting!
