Photoshop World

Last week I had the privilege of attending Photoshop World for the 4th time, this time in Vegas. This was by far my favorite, for many reason, another of which I’ll detail in another post in a couple of days.
Photoshop World consists of more than 3 days of classes taught by world-class instructors such as Joe McNally, Zack Arias, and Scott Kelby, just to name a few. There’s also an expo floor, where dozens of photography and technology vendors hawk their wares.
This time, Westcott had a booth set up consisting of 4 sets with their constant lights on and models ready to work. Anyone could walk up, joust for position, and fire away. It was fun–I’d never shot with hot lights, so it took a little dialing in to get the exposure right. To be honest, I don’t love the lights–I’m used to strobes–but I enjoyed trying them out and feel like I got fairly decent results. Westcott invited everyone shooting to submit their shots to their flickr group to vie to be included in their next catalog. I’ll probably submit at least one. Any votes?
Above are my 6 favorites. All were f2.8, varying shutter speeds to lighten or darken the background, ISO 1250.
