Canon 5D Mark III – In the House!
It’s been just a few days short of 3 1/2 years since I wrote a post about my new Canon 5D Mark II. Well, today my good friends at Pictureline have come through again – I have the new Canon 5D Mark III here in the studio. It will soon be going into the #1 spot in my bag, relegating my workhouse Mark II to a backup role.
Enjoy your Tuesday why I get to checking out this new little gem :)
iStockphoto upload # 9,000
This morning I added the 9,000th image to my portfolio at iStockphoto. What better model to be featured in the shot than Alyssa, who was so integral in my early iStock success. Now, onward to 10,000!

Let’s Go Bowling! Models & Extras Needed
I am putting together another large stock photo shoot and am in need of people to be background models and/or extras. The shoot is on the morning of Saturday March 3rd in Sandy Utah. Participants will need to arrive by 7:00 am and will be done by 9:30 am. The theme of the photo shoot is bowling and all of the extras will be actively bowling in the background. We need people of all age (children over 3), gender and ethnicity. Everyone participating will be required to sign a model release prior to being photographed.
If you are interested in joining in, drop me an email at rich@leggnet.com or RSVP on our Facebook group (link here) and I will provide you with the details. It’s going to be a lot of fun :)
Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day

5th Annual Studio Lighting Photowalk
Wow, has it been five years already?
Again with a repeat of the past four year’s most popular Photowalking Utah event, we will be doing an indoor “Studio Lighting” photowalk. The event will feature eight different studios set up within a large conference room. Participants will be able to walk to each setup photography station and try their hand at shooting. Models will be provided along with assistance from the host photographer at each station.

Again this year we will be working to create a variation in the type of lighting setups provided. This will give the participants a way to work with a large variety of portrait lighting arrangements.
I have arranged with several models to help us out. Just like the previous event, we are suggesting a $4-5 “tip” given that will be put in a pool and divided up among the models after the event. This is purely optional but it really helps to have dedicated models available for the photographers to shoot and this is a great way to compensate them for their time. I’ve got a pretty diverse group confirmed so far including different ages / genders / looks.

For those photographers that aren’t carrying around digital SLR’s, don’t worry. We will have a way to sync point-and-shoot cameras via slave to at least a couple of the setups. Everyone is welcome at these events regardless of skill or equipment. There will even be some higher end gear available to borrow.
Here are the details:
Date: Saturday February 25th
Time: 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Location: Gateway Community Church, 584 E 12300 South – Draper
Cost: Free (though a suggested model tip of $4-5 is appreciated)
If you’re planning on attending, please drop an RSVP into the event announcement on the Photowalking Utah Facebook Group (link).
