    I wish the model is little more experienced.

    It was a great location and Keri was fantastic. The clothes were perfect for the looks we wanted and our light was amazing.

    Good review of what I have read, gave me food for thought on how to apply the settings. Short time, but that is OK, will catch the next meetup.

    I thought asking if anyone had jobs available or needed work was a great idea. The event was well organized and moved along well.

    First Presentation -- excellent Second Presentation -- rather basic for me, but others seemed to find it useful Thrid Presentation -- as a last minute replacement, OK; some good stuff.

    it was my first meetup workshop, and I enjoyed it very much. I met some very nice people and the instructions given were hands on. I hope there will be more workshops like this to come

    Great group of photographers. Everyone helped each other. Mike really knows his stuff and graciously shares his techniques.

    I think it went really well, except for the very cold weather... next time - indoor :)

    Nice size group - not too big to prevent individual access to the model; Tsafrir is very knowledgeable and able to explain camera settings, his thought process, and lighting techniques very clearly; the models were patient and very friendly

    It was my first meetup group event and it was a blast. It's very nice to meet other enthusiastic photographers. Shot lots of portraits. It's really one of the kind of experience. Thanks for referring to this event.

    This was my first Photo Walk with the group. What a great colorful event to participate in. I had such a great time meeting people, shooting photos of the event characters and learning more about this group. Looking forward to the next one.

    I dont understand why you would think that people understood it wasn't a scheduled event. It is listed as an event on the group page with notices going out. If it wasn't real, it should have been canceled or deleted and with more notice than a comment the night before. There was no indication that the location wasn't committed...

    It was the same as the other meetup. Great results. Thanks for the inputs. I'll be more I formative next time!!!

    First, I enjoyed the workshop and thought Mike was an excellent instructor with very good ideas to share. Mike asked for suggestions to help improve the workshops; here are my suggestions: 1. Make it clear the workshop will be held outdoors. SAince we were meeting at the STanford Church and the subject was wedding photogrpahy, I (rashly) assumed we would be working inside the Church. I wished I had a warmer coat. 2. Give a brief description of what will be covered and what the participants hould bring. IN the case, the use of one, two and three portable flashes for lighting; and, suggest the participants to bring as many speed lights as they own. I brought only one of my three and should have brought all of them. Thank, Mike --it was time (and money) well spent. Jim

    It was a great training event and I certainly learned and gained more knowledge. Y Mendoza Photographer

    Mike was very concise and helpful in showing the practical use of off-camera flash for single to multiple setups. His techniques were a great starting point to INSPIRE using flash in new and different ways rather than just a show and tell. The point of experimenting with settings and setups was not lost on me.

    it was a great off camera flash light lesson! Mike gave pretty good instructions and tips. Unfortunately, the equipment was all different and we didn't have the RCs for the flash; hence, it was hard to do hands-on.

    I loved it!! Learned many invaluable concepts. Really helped me quite a bit. I would attend again and recommend it to other photographer's!!
