Contest: Going Wireless with Strobist and PocketWizard

Posted on July 14, 2008 by PocketWizard Blogger

By now you all must know that David Hobby over at Strobist is not only a talented photographer, but also a generous educator. We’re excited to join forces with David to offer this exciting contest! Here’s the deets:

Once a month, one free pair of PW Plus II Transceivers will be awarded to the best video on YouTube of a photo shoot detailing creative use of wireless triggering. Video can be live video or, a series of still photos with voiceover and clear explanation of how wireless triggering was used.

 

Creativity with wireless triggering is key to this contest. Show us your best, most creative use of going wireless with radio triggering. And detail, detail, detail! Explain your setup well so everyone can understand what it took to make your vision come alive.

All videos must be tagged “pocketwizardstrobist” to qualify. The judging panel will be David Hobby of Strobist and Phil Bradon from PocketWizard.

In addition, photos may also uploaded to Flickr tagged “pocketwizardstrobist” with link to the YouTube video in the description.

The contest runs mid-July through end of November. Winners will be announced on the 15th of each month, beginning in August.

EDIT: Feel free to leave a link to your video as a comment to this post. Also, we’ve seen great use of YouTube’s video annotations to point out gear use and positioning – great idea! Don’t forget you can always rent wireless gear if you don’t own it yet.

Good luck! Let’s her those shutters clicking. Go wireless! Read more at Strobist.blogspot.com

    So since I can’t afford to buy a pair and therefore need to win a pair where do I get a pair to make this video? Can you loan me a pair? :O) Oh yeah I need a sweet video camera too.

    @ brando: No problem! “Going Wireless” doesn’t necessarily mean “Radio Trigger” – creative interpretation of that idea also scores big points. You can also borrow or rent, too :)
