Hey everyone, My name is Ron and I am in charge of rounding up shooters for the event. We currently have 3 main shooters including myself. I would like to have at least 5-6 more that can also shoot that day as main and assistant photographers. We plan on having 2 main stations on stage, one baby/infant station, and one overflow station. Our thought is that we will pair up into groups of two per station and have one main and one asst. photographer which can rotate amongst themselves. If we have more photographers than stations we can also rotate stations every so often so that everyone can get an occasional break. Please let me know if you would be interested in assisting as a shooter and the amount of time you can dedicate that day.

thanks!
Ron

Ron,
I helped last year and would love to help again this year. I'm a portrait photographer, and am comfortable photographing people of all ages. . I'm available until 4PM. Please let me know what I can bring- I shoot with a canon 5D mark ll. What time do you need to set up?

Peggy, That would be terrific. I am glad to have you back on board this year! Can i count on you from 11:30-4pm then?

thanks,
Ron
Ron I'd like to help out as an assistant to the primary shooters, I am available all day.
great! I will put you down as an assistant and will assume you can be there fom 11:30-8pm ish?
sounds good see you Saturday!
Ron,
Yes, I'll be there from 11:30-4:00
Peggy
Hey, Ron! I'll be around pretty much all day on Saturday, and I suspect I'll be done with my food-rounding-up duties by 4 PM. So, I'd be happy to help out as a shooter or assistant in the evening, particularly if you need someone for kids and babies. (I shoot with a Nikon D300.)

Also, I'll bet you're all set with lighting gear, but I have some assorted pieces if you're still looking. In particular, I've got a honkin' Manfrotto boom lightstand w/ counterbalance and a 46" Softlighter, if you think they'd come in handy.
hey Cathy!
That would be terrific if you could help out after 4. I have Amy Lantz, who is going to work the baby station from the morning until 4 when she has to leave. You can fill in after he if you feel comfortable doing that, if the baby station is not getting much action you can always shoot or assist at one of the other 2-3 stations. I think we are good with the lighting equipment, but if you would like to bring the boom and an umbrella, we may be able to use that. I think we are going to try and keep it simple and just use alien bees with umbrellas, that way all the stations have similar setups and there is not a drastic difference in lighting from one station to another. D300 will wok great, that is what I was going to bring as well. Bring your smallest memory cards too. no sense in putting large cards though all the wear and tear of constant reading and formatting.

See you tomorrow!
Cool! I use AlienBees, too, so I'll just pack it all in the car in case it comes in handy.

I'm comfortable at the baby station, and since I'll be around before 4, I should have a chance to check out how Amy is doing things, to maintain continuity.

See you tomorrow!
Sounds great...see you Saturday! Unless you were going to be there when we set up, in that case I will see you tomorrow =)
I want to make sure as an assistant I am not bringing any gear.?.
correct. We will have cameras that will remain at each station with settings already preset.
