Last weekend we were a supporting sponsor at the Young Professionals Coacktail Party 2008. It's our 3rd year in a row at this event and we had fantastic time. The YPCP08 is a celebration of opportunity for young people in Darwin and the rest of the Northern Territory. Mostly though its a huge piss up where many of the young professionals of Darwin get together and let their hair down.
We shot our photos a couple of ways through the night. Roaming crowd shots with on camera SB-900 action, using bounce whenever possible and we also took the trusty backdrop. We had 2 SB-800s with shoot through umbrellas at the backdrop. When someone wanted a backdrop shot we would just set our SB-900's from 'On' to 'Master' and they would trigger the SB-800's perfectly each time. Gotta love the Nikon CLS. When your working a crowd and 2 photographers both need to quickly go from Backdrop to Roaming mode frequently through the night this setup couldn't be simpler. Couldn't have done without the switch so handy on the SB-900. Good job Nikon!!
We had an amazing night, met some awesome people and then kicked onto the after party and a Monsoons in Mitchell St.
To see all the shots from the night head here.
Maybe we'll see you there in 2009!!
