Donating some extra stuff I don't need (umbrellas, lightstand)

I could totally use the light stand and umbrella I would use it with 580 exii I am trying to get the flash off the camera I would use it for newborn, seniors a little boudair and kids. Eventually some wedding photography :) been trying to get the flash off and when money is tight every little bit helps. But even more thanks for showing people kindness!

This gear would be ok for learning.. but I wouldn't use it on a paying shoot.... we will see! :)
 
I could use a 43 inch umbrella. I have a small 33 inch one that just isn't big enough and is honestly, kind of built like crap. Thanks for doing this Charlie.

Sure! Keep in mind these are gold umbrella.. which will add a bit of warmth to whatever you shoot with them. It can be very flattering light when used properly, but it can also just get strange. But for learning the basics.. it would do ok. In the running!

The reason I am more interested in the silver umbrella and stand. Well Said. :)
 
I am not going to blow smoke here, I want them so I can take terrible but slightly better lit photos.

Also I will give you a bunch of respect.
 
Donating to anyone that wants them... but you have to explain why you want it.. and how you intend to use. Just a short blurb.. no long paragraphs needed.

Aww, Charlie...you *know* I can't even say "hello" in a short blurb. :lmao:

This is a cool thing you're doing. I could certainly use some of it, as I still intend to start working on my portrait skills (which are currently non-existent) come this spring--but I'm not gonna throw my name in the hat; I'll let others benefit from your generosity here.

Now, if you wanna donate that little lens you picked up recently on CL to me...600mm, wasn't it? But I'm not greedy, I'd take it even if was only 400 or 500. :D

hahaha.. you mean the Tokina 300 2.8? I did some testing with it.. and decided to send it back. Have a Nikon 300 F4 coming in to replace it. I can't afford to donate those toys, lol!

Oh, right. Well, I couldn't actually remember, so I made it a little longer than it actually was! :lmao:
 
Pick me...pick me!!

Ah.. so you do the opposite of what most women do... Good to know! ;) :hail: :biglaugh:

You currently have no stand, or umbrellas?

I assume you are talking about "FISH", right? Especially the one that got away? lol!
 
Boy I would like to throw my name in the hat,wanted to start trying to shoot portraits but have no lighting equipment or umbrellas or reflectors.
So there it is and I would also like to say its so awsome of you doing this and all others you have done this.
It just reafirms there are still great folks out there in the world we live in.
