I absolutely love how thorough you are w/ explaining things.

Great tutorial Mark thanks so much for sharing! Will the booth work with any other type of trigger, I have a collection of Yongnuo triggers already, so it would be great if I could use them.

I'm using 4x8 polystyrene sheets I picked up at Lowes for about 14.00 each. We're setting up at my Class Reunion in September. Blew away the Reunion Committee!

This was so COOL!!! Love it!

Great job Mark! This is such a great idea!!!!

Really helpful! Thank you!

I have the pocket wizards and I never knew I could use it as a remote control. Thank you so much for this tips, All i have to do now is get my remote cable.

Another great one Mark! Congrats!

THIS IS AWESOME, MARK!!! FRIGGIN' AWESOME!

Another great video....happy sales

Hi Mark, Thank you for video. Can we print those photos there it self, as people want them immediately.

Hi,I'm wondering how you did the automated borders and adjustments ? Absolutely love this idea for party's ! But is a the wireless Nikon trigger with delay not a better way of triggering ? It also use autofocus and white the delay option the timer doesn't show/the people being photographed can put it a way for the picture. Thanks in advance, And greetings from the Netherlands !

Anyone know why Lightroom CS5 doesn't update the slideshow when tethering?? even with the Tether Tools cable

Hi Jeff, it's a Benro A2690TBH1 Travel Angel Aluminum Tripod, which is available at Adorama.

I shoot with the Nikon D7000 and the 35mm f/1.4. I have the camera inside the Alien Bees ABR800. I have the Moon unit 56" and people love it. I hand them the remote control and they have a ball... Instruction and DIY coming soon.

Cant wait for next episode!

Cactus v5 transceiver also has the auto focus and the shutter trigger function for anyone who wants to save a bit of money

Great stuff as always Mark!

Thanks Mark Wallace

As always well done, Mark - you rock! BTW, a cheaper alternative to expensive 1inch thick 4x8 foam core art boards is to use 1.5 inch thick polystyrene (Styrofoam) boards from your local builders store (Home Depot, Lowes, etc). If you decide to paint them, mix water and PVA (4:1 ratio) and first prime the board. Mount w/8x10” angle hanger bracket (10” side vertical) & 2”+ bolt (nuts thru polystyrene vertically), wood screw into 2x4” block. Search for Sue Bryce V-flat on KZread for videos...

another good episode. thanks.

Great video!!! but i have a question how do you make in lightroom the white borders,saturation, automate? Thanks Mark you are the best.

HI Jeff, It is a Savage Nucor, Plain Uncoated Foam Mount Board. You can find a link to the product page on Adorama in the description right below the video. If that is too pricey for you there are commenters below who suggest less expensive alternatives.

Yeah...LIKE IT!!! MORE PLEASE!

you can do that is using a remote or the self timer but they are as not as conviant . the remotes usually have short cords and self timer doesn't have enough time. However you can do that with the YN RF603 flash triggers as they also funcion as wireless shutter release

Great Practical Tutorial. It can be as complicated or as simplistic as you want it. For me, it needs to be easy to assemble and operate.

Excelente video, una gran idea para fiestas, saludos desde México

GOOD EPISODE MARK!

ok so now most peeps have LR5 how do u get the slideshow feature working.... or it broke in LR5?

Great tips! I wish though, I had that much room at most places I shoot photobooths. Usually I'm cramped for space OR sharing space with DJ and his equipment.

Could you use a 35mm if you dont have a 24-70?

Hi There! thank you for posting this video. How you visualize in the computer directly when you taking photos? I have Adobe Lightroom installed. What I don't get is HOW i can see them live. Is just connecting an USB cable? please advice and help would be much appreciated! thanks

What about being able to print the photos on 2x6 or 4x6 prints?

great video, thanks again

Thanks for the Great vid. My only real comment is can't we do this with out the pocket wizards. (kind of pricey) Just use the IR remote? I'm not sure how that would work with the auto focus, but honestly I'd rather have it on manual anyway. I'd hate for the camera to hunt for focus and cause a delay. With a wide angle lens the DOF is pretty big. Maybe put a piece of tape on the floor for near focus and the back drop be far focus?

Helpful , great idea :)

Great Video!

Awesome!

What cable i need for my canon 60D?

great tutorial !

What AF focus system are you using for the booth? Thank you

Hey Mark, great tutorial bud. Can you say why you wouldn't use a studio flash instead of speedlight.? Thanks

Like it!

This is great. You don't have to subscribe to apps. How would the people get the pictures?

Nice tutorial! Does it works with a "NO-REFLEX" digital camera or a webcam?

Awesome video. I have a photobooth myself and like to use a 35mm lens to avoid distortion.

is there a way to print a set of pictures in strips right after they are taken?

Use a Photo Booth program on the laptop or run it off a tablet.

NIce video bro... What the advantange over those Pocket W's over radio poppers?

Great idea! I want to come to your Birthday Party to see how this booth works out! I'm afraid the tripod would get knocked over against the foam board which knocks over the laptop...what a disaster it could be with "too many happy guests". I'm not knocking your booth but I would rather staple it to something that fits flat on the floor like a 2 x 4. Happy Birthday to you. I hope your Photo Booth catches some great photos! The Pocket Wizard Plus III Transceiver sounds great!

love the idea ,need to use my flex system somehow ........

Hi Mark, so have you never or would never recommend a white back drop for a photo shoot?

There are two cables on adorama for the PW and the 7D/5D cameras. One is $68 the other is $36. Which one were you using?

Thanks for the FYI!

Dear Mark, what about the focus mode to be used for groups or single person in a party photobooth

We had a similar setup at a wedding with a softbox and another speedlight behind the subjects (on the floor). It worked great.

+Teodor Stefanescu But it's not really necessary unless the room/area is very dark.

Any product suggestion since this size is no longer available?

No, you don't need a pocket wizard. Any compatible remote trigger (preferably wireless) or the cameras self timer will do. The self timer option is the least desirable since the camera has to be touched to take a picture.

What is that board called I am on the website not looking for it and I cannot find it also from the video it its really long how do you transport this?

Fun!

What tripod is that on the camera ?

I built a photo booth that is controlled by the apple remote. The laptop is facing the people taking the picture so they can see the result immediately, and snap more pictures. The laptop ran the Canon software for tethered shooting. I'm thinking about adding an external display aimed at the crowd. The video was great.

what about using a remote or self timer ,, do we really need pocket wizard ?

what if you dont have a wide angle lens?

I shoot with a D7000, a set of pocket wizard plus II and SB800; is there a tutorial for me to use my PW Plus II to take pictures? I heard it is possible but have not came across a video tutorial yet.

How to automate lightroom?

A studio flash is even better. Many people like me to keep the gear to a lowest cost possible in the videos so I used a speedlight instead.

BTW, for those with a limited budget and cannot afford $370 for the PW Plus ii ($68 for cable), consider the Oppilas RW-221 $18!!! Yes, it also uses long-range 2.4Ghz frequency and includes the button half-push to pre-focus lens before shooting. I love my Pocket Wizards for flash and can handle $149 per transceiver but paying another $68 for the cable seems gouging when its free and included with the $17 Oppilas RW-221. Heck, buy a handful if you're worried about reliability...

Can you please tell me what software program you used in laptop for photo booth?

Does anyone know the link for the foam core... can't seem to find it

@domytik

Right! They give you links to buy cameras, lenses, etc., but not for the cheap foam core. A search on the Adorama site for Foam Core Boards does not even show them.

Hold up what do you meant other pocket wizzard wont focus and then shoot remotely?? yes it does do in it right now while watching the video!

set your depth of field to deep & use a wireless remote trigger... the trigger should also be on a timmer as all your photos will have an ugly trigger in there hands :o There is nice software out there that will take multiple photos on a timmer with print settings to Usea white backdrop & use full manual settings & set the exposure beforehand

Fantastic! I've been meaning to look up how to do the lightroom automation for a while, now I definitely need to look that up. Tethered capture with adding the boarder looks great!

lightroom tethering coo,l eyefi card CORDLESS on a ipad :) also cool

the reason that Mark said f8 is because every body in the photo have to be in focus and form f8 down the foreground and background is foucs because because of the greater depth of field

yn-rf603 wireless triggers have focus/shutter feature on them for 29 bucks

He said that the Plus II and the Mini/Flex system (the "other PocketWizards") don't have a half-press function.

That's a common problem with my Lightroom 4. It crashes a lot while I shoot my Canon 5D Mark 2&3 into it.

cool idea, I just use the wifi memory card so people can se the photos on the Ipad

cool

I really enjoy the lessons and tutorials, good advice , Although it would be nice if adorama would make these video tutorials using more average equipment instead high end gear most people are not going to have for example the 300 dollar mathews low boy with 200 dollar teather tool table on it

nice

Can your guests go home with 4x6 pics? Take picture, then put picture in their hands IN A MINUTE. DONE! What fun! Now that would be one cool booth. Don't bother guess with collecting emails, names and addresses, mailing and emailing out pics to guests.

great idea! thanks Mark! Can I send you some questions through e-mail? Thank you so much sir!

autofocus does not work on remote

use styrafoam insulation sheeting from lowes or home depot. google "tiffany angeles reflectors", i cant post the link HTH!

Man, u r really funny

So... huge sheet of foam board is simpler solution than umbrella.

Great Tips,Though i would not want drunk party goers all over my 4k camera and lens!!!!

uh, no it probably isn't. To connect my NPT-04 triggers to my Westcott studio strobes: a regular old PC to 3.5mm cable. I tried Amazon, but sorting through 20,000 PC cables isn't easy. It took like 30 minutes before I gave up. At the Adorama web site, in less than 60 seconds I found they didn't have it, then went to B&H and they did (also 60 seconds). The point is, you have to actually know something about the product. Adorama and B&H do. Google and Amazon search is just a stupid text search.

Foam Mount Board is not cheap $688.95

Mark, that's great. But it's too much work. It's not worth it! You could just use an on camera flash bounced off the ceiling and a red background behind the subject. Less work and less expensive.
