Lighting deals at PhotoFest Ireland this Sunday
-
Hi Folks,
There will be some great savings on Elinchrom studio lighting at PhotoFest Ireland
http://www.photofestireland.com THIS SUNDAY (29th April) at the Crown Plaza Hotel / Conference (Near Dublin Airport), so if you are in the market for a quality Lights come along.See some of the deals on: https://photographyireland.net/viewtopic.php?t=6918
Hi Paddy,
Tried talking to you, but you were a bit swamped. Talked to Barry from Hotshots a bit about Striplights and he was very insightful into their current design issues etc. Hopefully they come on line soon.
The Quantum Q Flash system looks interesting.Hi Sean, Thanks for dropping by – even if we could not get to talk ( Same to anyone else we kept waiting). As a gesture to you we will hold the show deals on LIGHTING until the end of the week – if you are interested. We had twelve people on our stand (three times that of any previous show) and still we were flat out all day. I would love to have some more feedback about the show in general and our stand in particular. As usual we brought a lot more stock than we could dispaly (or even find!) so I would love to know what those of you who attended found interesting (Apart from the Elinchrom D-Lite Kits which flew)? Also what was not interesting / relevant that we can leave behind next time (Photovision show in Croke park Next September). Regards, Paddy Barker

I came and looked at your stand about 3 or 4 times
got to talk to one of the guys from Flaghead about the ringflash
it was cool to see quite a bit of stuff, but my only comment would be there was too much for the space, and so i reckon i only got to look at maybe 10 % of the stuff.
In the situation of that exhibit I am not sure how you do much better
I used to work for an exhibition contractor, the stands i would do would be stuff like playstation etc so bigger, but the same problems are there
one thing that can work is having a flatter stand instead of the corner, as the space was limited in that corner
In general I think the whole exhibition area was more than a little cramped. It just seemed it wasn’t designed for the number of people that showed up. Your stand, to me anyway, seemed the busiest in the hall any time I wandered by. One positive comment I heard several times was that You had the largest range of stock available on your stand on the day. It was hard though to get in and have a good look as Steve said, but there really wasn’t much you could have done about that.
Maybe next year the organisers will consider a bigger venue?
Cheers
Robbie
8)Have to agree about the space aspect. Looking at the blurb about the show, one could be forgiven to think that it was going to take place in a reasonably large space. It was rather disappointing to find it taking place in very cramped conditions. There were several occasions where I found it difficult to negotiate the aisles as they were simply blocked by people waiting to talk to someone on a stand.
In contrast to the opinions above, I think a corner is a good place to be – if you can configure the stand to have an outer L shape rather than the inner L shape of Paddy Barkers stand! But of course, that’s something that is dictated to the stand holder by the show organisers. The ideal would have been a quadrant – no sharp corners, easy access and plenty of room to put everything on display. I don’t think the inner L shape as it was, was all that bad. Admittedly it was difficult to gain access right into the corner, but I think that had more to do with the space taken up by the 3-D display more than anything else. It was great to have representatives from various manufacturers/supplier on hand to answer those niggling little questions.
