I recently had the opportunity and joy to shoot Canda (http://www.listentocanda.com/) a very talented singer and voice coach. She had a disposition matching her beautiful voice and it was a real pleasure shooting her while I listened to her sing. Doesn’t get more fun than that!
So the much anticipated Flashbus tour event is done and I’m of two minds about it. I really liked David Hobby; his presentation was flowing, interesting and all in all met my expectations.
Joe McNally though… I was disappointed, plain and simple. I would assume (with all that it entails) that being more than half way through the tour, the presenters would have their stuff down and worked all kinks out. Hence I was unpleasantly surprised when Joe looked unprepared, slightly chaotic, without clear focus.
I think the world of him as far as photography goes but presenting and sharing knowledge is a different skill-set; one that he may not posses?
Overall a good time; a lot of people and I will definitely try to go to the next strobist event/seminar etc.
