I made a decision to run with just the 2 head Elinchrom Ranger Quadra kit. I had intended bringing the 2 EL-Adaptors and using a range of modifiers with them. Except one of them was missing (I found it under a camera bad this evening).<br \/>\nAfter driving around and around for ages, I eventually got parking a distance away from our meetup location. I&#8217;d nearly had enough by then, carting a fully laden camera bag (with laptop), the kit, a stands bag and softboxes up with me. Next time, I&#8217;ll have someone wait at the door!<br \/>\nAnyhow got up to the room. Nicer than I remembered, but still a little lacking in locations. John Mac commandeered one of the better locations and went to work with Zoe. I on the other hand went with new girl Kaila, who came via Folio 32. The quadras worked well, but I was really missing my grids, beauty dish and that second EL Adaptor.<\/p>\n<p>I borrowed a small softbox (one that happens to spring clip onto the Quadra&#8217;s reflector) and got a working clamshell setup going.<br \/>\nLater I also went with a shoot through umbrella and did a whole bunch of single light shots. I was happy enough with my work overall, but next time, I&#8217;ll bring completely different stuff.. and mix in speedlights! <\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/seanmcfoto.com\/randompanderings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/strobistmeet-280609-004.jpg\" alt=\"StrobistMeet_280609_004.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"675\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/seanmcfoto.com\/randompanderings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/strobistmeet-280609-048.jpg\" alt=\"StrobistMeet_280609_048.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"675\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/seanmcfoto.com\/randompanderings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/strobistmeet-280609-127.jpg\" alt=\"StrobistMeet_280609_127.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"675\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/seanmcfoto.com\/randompanderings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/strobistmeet-280609-149.jpg\" alt=\"StrobistMeet_280609_149.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"675\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1583"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1583\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
