Is it only me or do some people not get the idea and priactice of being Strobist. If you are dragging studio flashes out into the field and calling them strobist shots, thats not how it works. Here is a definition:
Dragging Alienbees or other studio flashes and expensive battery packs out into the field are not considered strobist. I see guys posting up Studio gear shots on the strobist threads all the time, I try to ignore it but it just kind of erks me I guess. Am I the only one it bothers? Rant off
1. | strobist | http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=strobist# |
1. A person who habitually uses small, hot-shoe mountable electronic flashguns (or speedilights), off-camera to enhance the lighting quality of his or her photos. The off-camera flashgun is triggered by the camera using a sync cable or a wireless switch. 2a. More generally anyone who attempts to generate professional quality photographs by using portable, lightweight and (relatively) inexpensive lighting equipment, creatively. |
