It's been a long running joke in the El Paso photography club "Megapixels", that one would get better results, look cool holding, and be the king of photography if one had a Nikon or Canon. Now I personally think it's the monkey behind the camera, not the camera...but I never back away from the chance at throwing in a jab or two at my fellow club members who are shooting Canons :) We even make fun of each other when one is using a tripod or not useing a tripod.
So, I found it interseting when I came across this video and story posted at Strobist.com. The photographer, Nick Turpin, did a shoot for Men's Health magazine using a Canon Camera and two snooted (looks like homemade snoots, which I got excited about) Nikon SB 800s. Nick and someone from the magazine, asked passing strangers, dressed approriatly for the magazine topic, if they would allow the crew to photograph them. What I love about this shoot is the very portable setup Nick was using, and I also like the snoots and the fact that he was using Canon and Nikon equipment together.
I'll let you see for yourself :

Sweet, sweet, sweet. Man, talk about understanding tones, texture, geometrics, lighting and composition -- the whole shooting match! This is what I want to be when I grow up.
