MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT

Lighting Equipment Available To Borrow

I have acquired, for use by members of the Bridge Lake Photo Group, the contents of a small photo studio.

The equipment is:

• 2 Elinchrom 500 strobe lights
  • 2 light stands
  • 2 Pocket Wizard triggers
  • Sekonic L358 light meter
  • 2 umbrellas (45” and 36”)
• Backdrops
  • 2 backdrop stands plus crossbar
  • 2 backdrops – white and linen coloured (heavy canvas)
• Reflector (portable)
  • silver
  • white
  • gold
• Mamiya 650 Pro TL Film Camera with 70mm lens and filters
  • takes 120 film
  • miscellaneous filters etc.
• Manfroto Wall Mount Boom
• Antique “Standard” Film Editor/Projector

This equipment will be used for BLPG workshops (once we can do face-to-face meetings) on using strobes, portraiture etc.

It is also available to be borrowed by members who would like to try their hand at using strobes for portraits or other photography. For example, one strobe with stand, umbrella and trigger would give you beautifully lit subjects (dogs, cats, guinea pigs or humans).

Those who might be interested in trying medium format film photography may like to borrow the Mamiya 650, provide the film (120 size, available on, for example, Amazon.ca) plus find a place to get it processed (Kerrisdale Camera in Vancouver), and, with the lighting kit, make wonderful photos.
