another strobist meeting and we are making progress with learning how to use the softbox.

Lesson of the meeting:

• if it's dark, don't trust the display since your eyes get more sensitive to light (it's obvious, but i keep forgetting it)
• I really have to learn how to read histograms
• if you shoot in the dark, bring a powerful flash light (in my case I should buy one)
• find a way to mount a flash light
• don't forget to use your white card

what I'm good at?

• relax people and comfort them
• stupid jokes

what differs me from other photographers?

• the model is the middle of the attention and not just a prop
  
• I really try to work with the people and relax them if they are nervous or make them laugh
  
• provide as much feedback as possible
• keep as much distance as possible and shoot mostly at 150-200mm outsides, 35 - 55mm does not really work for me most of the time

anyway some pictures from the last night
