ABOUT THE TOUR

THE FLASH TOUR

Demonstrating the speed of light while rolling across the country at the speed of a moving bus, the world's two leading educators and innovators in the big world of small flash, David "The Strobist" Hobby and Joe "Numnuts" McNally team up for the FLASHBUS 2011 TOUR.

Hobby and McNally kick off this small flash fest on March 11th in Seattle, and then head down the West Coast and across the country teaching, demonstrating, lighting and debating about speed lights. Shoot manual? Check! Wanna try TTL? Gotcha covered! 29 cities, 13,000 miles, rolling, flashing, tweeting from San Diego to Boston, Atlanta to LA, Memphis to Denver, and lots of stops in between.

Two different styles of lighting and two different ways of teaching combine as Hobby and McNally join forces to explore and explain good light — good light done fast and well.

Hobby and morning coffee! David runs the morning session, and then gives way to McNally and lots of lights in the afternoon. They come together onstage at the end of the day in a free-wheeling Q&A--no holds barred.

WHAT DO YOU GET? WHAT YOU'LL LEARN.

You'll spend the day studying light as you watch over the shoulders of two experienced professionals. Their paths may be different, but the end goal is the same -- to create interesting light that is appropriate to the subject and to do it in an intuitive way.

Doors will open at 9:30am, and we'll hit the ground running at 10am. The morning will be spent in "manual" mode, then we'll switch to "TTL" for the afternoon lighting session.

We'll wind things up with a living room-style, no-holds-barred discussion/Q&A period, after which you'll want to go home and try out some new ideas.

It's Joe and Dave, so formality (and, possibly, propriety and/or decency) will have the day off so we can concentrate on learning together and having fun.
