Description
The Learn your lights workshop will help beginner and novice photographers interested in expanind their camera flash lighting capabilities.
We meet Friday night on the 25th from 7-9pm to get to know everyone's current level and any specific interests in using camera flash in their work. You don't have to own a flash to participate in this workshop, but familiarity with one is a plus.
On Saturday we will have our one-day workshop starting at 10am. We will be covering:
- Using the flash on-camera, where this works, and why you may want to change that up.
- Simple, cheap, and effective methods of getting a speedlight off your camera, including wired triggers, ETTL-Cords, proprietary wireless triggering, and Pocket Wizard wireless radio transceivers.
- Shaping our light: using umbrella's, soft boxes and octa banks.
- Multiple speedlight set-ups, using two, three, or even four lights to create a single image.
- Moving to big lights: what are some of the options for studio strobes (which can be cheaper than some speedlights)
I look to be able to give each participant some one-on-one time to help them break out and create images that appeal and are useful to them and what they're interested in.
We'll have a large variety of equipment to use hands-on, a gear-list with best places to buy them, as well as some great prizes from my sponsors:
I'm limiting the workshop to 8 participants to make sure everyone gets a chance to shoot and try their hand at something new.
