Photowalking Salt Lake City event on studio lighting
Today I met the great folks from the Photowalking Salt Lake City group for an indoor event on using studio lighting. 70+ people attended a local Church where 8 studios were created - with models - so that experts could share their gear and expertise with those of us new to lighting. It was a wonderful event, for not only to being able to try out so many different setups but also meet to many friendly and helpful photographers.
I shot the portrait above through a ringlight, which is something I'd been looking forward to trying out as it produces such a distinctive effect. I can't swing buying the real deal right now but I'm going to try hacking together a ghetto version with a circular lighting fixture with a daylight-balanced florescent bulb.
Here are some other portraits I made with other studio gear:
And here are a few behind-the-scenes shots of the event - the full photoset is over at my Flickr account:

That shot of Kelly with the ringlight is killer, great job. I came home with several things to add to my wishlst as well. It was great meeting you! -John
The ring shot is great! Another reason I like landscapes, you have to have fancy lights to get good portrait shots, that and trees don't have eyes. ;) Of course you always have to run the risk of the sun refusing to cooperate, but that part of the mystery.
