Controlling Light Workshop
This is an Intermediate to Advanced workshop although any Club Photographers are welcome. We will cover light modifiers, reflectors, light meters, studio umbrella flash and soft box flash. Some work will be outside with sunlight some will be in a studio environment. Basic understanding of f-stops, shutter speed and their effect is important. All shooting will be manual set exposure. Our goal is to understand and improve photography techniques when photographing people in family groups, couples and individuals.
It is important to bring the following equipment:
Adjustable DSLR with mild telephoto or zoom (70-200mm) f 2.8 preferred but not necessary
On camera flash with manual setting option
Note book
If you have any of this equipment bring it:
(We will have these in class)
Hand held flash meter
Grey card or equivalent device
Reflector
Pocket wizard transmitter/receiver
A willing model – yes we need a couple of Models, age, type not important. We will also be photographing each other so if you have a favorite outfit/costume bring it. Swim suit is ok but no lingerie please.
