All in Photography
The #SF #BayBridge on the #TreyUSA Photowalk
Last Saturday night in SF was the big Trey Ratcliff photowalk, the last stop in the tour. Hundreds of photographers gathered on Pier 39 to walk the Embarcadero down to AT&T park. People kept asking: What is this gathering about? All I could say was a very popular photographer is leading a group of people on a walk through the city. His name is Trey Ratcliff, his website is StuckInCustoms.com and he's a cool guy.
Mystery in Shadows - Off Camera Flash
I just picked up a pair of Yongnuo 560-IV flash units. The flashes have the ability to transmit wirelessly for off camera flash lighting. The device is fully manual and very affordable at $71.00 each. The instruction manual that came with it is poorly translated into English from Chinese, so I did a lot of button mashing and trial and error. I wanted to figure out how to fire the remote flash while disabling the flash in the camera hotshoe and just having that on camera unit transmit the command to fire the remote flash.
A Man #Texts His Way Across The #Embarcadero
While waiting for the other half of my group to meet up at the Exploratorium, I did some people watching. I noticed this man crossing the street with his face buried deep in his phone. And all I could think of was Improv Everywhere's "Seeing Eye People" stunt and how much he could use such a service. Might be the next big Bay Area startup. Who wants to fund that?
