Kerry and David start off with discussing some high school grad night party jobs they have been doing recently and how they went after that market.
Later, the guys discuss the use of a light meter and how it can help you get your exposures fast and accurately in-camera and save you time in post-production.

I got a call this week from my friend Rick Miller from Adobe who is working with David Montizambert on a new lighting DVD that they were going out to Joshua Tree National Park to get some shots and setups for using homemade diffusion light panels from PVC and nylon sheets. Never wanting to pass up a chance to shoot with someone like David, I jumped at the chance. Not only did we get all the stuff David needed the segment he was working on, we all switched around taking turns shooting and holding the lights and panels for each other. The following are some of my favorite shots from the day.
