Had a great learning experience

[Ultra Magnus]

My company had a product release press day last week. Needless to day, lots of photographers and journalists attended, most of which weren't anything special, canon 20d's with the kit lenses and such, but two well know professionals showed up, Frank Hoppen and Joe Bonello. I got to spend a few minutes here and there with them, but mostly just watched them work. I was impressed with how cool they were and willing they were to answer questions, both were very nice. At the end of the day, Joe Bonello handed me his camera to look through the viewfinder to see what he was seeing. I felt weird holding his mega $$ camera setup. I took these shots with my Sony P200. I left the 828 at home. I was there to work, not just take pictures, so the little camera made more sense. I could just pull it out of my pocket whenever I wanted to take a shot, and put it back in and continue working.

These first three images are of Frank Hoppen. He had this cool ATV/mobile photo studio setup that looked like a swee setup. The big reflector on the back had a mirror on one side and a silver coating on the other.
