You guys know how awesome you are so my comments are directed to the technical side. All three of you are sporting PW's. Do you each have your own off-camera light or are you all firing the same lights? I see Ed shooting one-handed with a light stick in the other hand. I honestly don't know how you can do this but you do it quite well.

Congrats to the three of you for an outstanding set!

Jim,
We set up a few lights on different channels so each of us could just tap into whichever light we wanted for the specific shot. Ed's lightstick is like a 3rd arm though.

Gotcha. That's a pretty cool idea. I might have to steal that one!

One more question for Sam. What brand /model of camera straps do you use? I have a Rapid R strap but I'm looking for a "system" that works better for carrying extra lenses on me. I have a thinktank belt but it interferes with the R strap.

Ed, how do I grow a third arm? Eat more Wheaties?

Sam/Ed/Tony: What type of mic system do you use to communicate with each other throughout the day? I'd love to get something like that.

Tony... what are you guys using for power for all those lights? The Canon external packs?

I like the group shot, it's picture 11. No, i don't like it - i LOVE it! :-)
How did you light that?

In June i have a destination wedding and also have to make a small group shot. But i can't take all my lighting equipment with me because i will travel by train...

Bye, Stefan.

I used a speedlight to camera left. The umbrella was up stairs and we didn't have time to grab it so the guys, (Tony & Ed) held the loose speed light shot it into a reflector. Ed's idea if I remember correctly. Surprise surprise.

I use nothing but speedlights for EVERYTHING I do. Take care.

@Sam
Ehrm. Really? Just one single Speedlight (with a reflector)? Huh, ok.
Great result!
May i ask you a further (last...) question - how much you had to rescue details or whatever in the RAW-Converter in this particular case?

Bye, Stefan.

Image wasn't blown. I just put a normal "S" curve type adjustment, some web sharpening and it was good to go. LR is your friend.
