So last week we did the Elma High School Junior Senior Dance and Prom for about two hundred students. The school officials were great and the Students were a lot of fun to work with. We had two backgrounds to choose from, one with a theme of the dance and one was a more modern pattern and the latter was the one chosen the most by the students. We returned the following week and did the School Graduation Class of 2010 picture for the school wall and then individual portraits and fun shots. I used the Nikon wireless light system for the second time on the portrait session and I am impressed. The set up was two strobes with umbrellas on stands and a Nikon SU 8OO wireless controller using one of my D200 cameras.

Set up was simple and the system worked flawlessly for me, giving more than enough light and I had control of each flash from the camera. Recycle time was great and the students appreciated seeing the images first hand and picked the one they wanted from the shots I took. We delivered the picture packets and the year booklets to the teacher in charge of the dance for distribution to each student. All in all it was a success to me and a lot of fun also to work with a school where the students are fun and easy to be around.

We are already starting to work on next years packages for the students so they have more time to review what we offer and how much each option is. I did post the entire shoot on the secure site I maintain for students that wanted more copies of their pictures for family and friends. So far we have a shipped and completed one order from a student so that made it worth while for me.
