Hi Preston,

No, that does not include shipping. I give a break on shipping to people that order in advance at a portrait event, but I don't think I'll be able to do that for dog sports.

I've talked to several judges and trial chairs about light sources.

The darkest facility I shoot at (so far) has agreed to let me put up construction lights since they are always on rather than flash, but we'll have to do a test run and clear it with the judge(s) for each event.

I may throw them in the car for next weekend and see if the opportunity to use them presents itself.

Flash of any sort is pretty much not going to happen. The one possible exception may be flyball where things are so chaotic that the dogs aren't going to notice anyway. Still there are a lot of folks deeply rooted in "the way things have always been done," so even that might be a stretch.

Honestly, I think I'd rather have a decent always on light source for this type of event. No worrying about recycle times that way.
