Hey! Hey! You! You! Get onto our cloud...

Respect for our environment

is the way we do business at PNY.

Happy Earth Day from PNY! Back in 2009 PNY made serious steps to reduce the amount of plastic waste that winds up in landfills every year, and switched over to an eco-friendly packaging that contains 70% less plastic than our previous packaging. Additionally, PNY fully supports the aims of the RoHS and WEEE (WasteElectrical and Electronic Equipment) initiatives to develop production technologies and post-consumer programs that reduce the environmental impact of lead and other potentially hazardous substances. In support of these initiatives, PNY is implementing lead-free assembly in its production facilities with the substitution of a lead-free soldering alloy (consisting of tin, silver and copper) and manufacturing processes consistent with product reliability requirements.

Join award winning photographer Rick Friedman for his 2 day hands-on “Location Lighting Workshop”.  This workshop is designed for wedding photographers, portrait photographers, photojournalists and serious amateurs who want to improve their knowledge of lighting. This workshop begins with ways to create wonderful light using a single speedlite and continues to add a 2^nd and 3^rd speedlite and progress to using studio strobes. Rick's workshops are limited to a small class size to keep it intimate and provide individual attention.

Attendees will explore many different ways to achieve the lighting effect you desire for your photographs; multiple light situations, balancing available light with strobes, mixing speed lights with studio strobes as well as determining when speed lights are really the better option. Topics include: color balances, color correction, cross filtering and adding and controlling color in your photographs. Students will work with many different types of light modifiers and you will see the effects of softboxes, umbrellas, light panels, screens, grids, snoots, reflectors, gobos and barn doors. Students will learn create lighting for different types of portraits and lighting situations both indoors and outside. Also, Rick will explain the various ways to fire strobes, how to build some of your own light modifiers and building your own gaffers kit. Rick teaches using both Nikon and Canon systems, and utilizes PNY flash memory products and high speed HDMI cables. Rick will also be doing portfolios reviews.
