Indonesian Valentine's Day Party 2010 in Sacramento

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!  And Happy New Year to all of my Asian friends who are celebrating it.  It's pretty amazing that it happens on the same day.  Pink and Red, pretty cool combination.

Anywho, we Indonesians, do celebrate this 'holiday'.  Well, at least, we like the idea of the holiday itself.  It's a great time to get together and appreciate each other.  We are having this get together at a small restaurant in Sacramento.

This year, I had the chance to set up a simple photo booth for our get together.  I am using my D700, 24-70mm for the booth, and 70-200mm for the event coverage itself.  I rented an SB900 in addition to my own.  The reason for the other SB900 is so that I can trigger both flash with the wireless iTTL.  One is set up in a Lastolite Ezybox (24 x 24) softbox, and the other in a Westcott Halo umbrella.

The Nikon CLS system works extremely well.  It works even though I have one of the flash in the Halo umbrella. The photobooth setup works fairly well.  For next time, I would definitely use a background.  I can't always assume that the venue would have a good spot for that.

Overall, I think it was a great event.  I had great shots of the event also.  For more pictures, please visit my gallery.
