Hi Everyone,
Are you ready for some experiments in lighting? As a precursor to a bigger Lighting Ed. Night in January we are hoping you might be game to first try some things on your own at home. This will help us all to focus in January. …also it’s wet and Covid and Thanksgiving is soon.
The brief:
Shoot a subject of your choice and light it with one light source as well as at least one reflector or bounce card. You can use a diffusor with your light source if you like to “soften” the shadows. Think about the end result and how you go about creating the light you want to see on the subject.
This is about “seeing the light”. It helps you in all other types of photography as well. The lighting source can be a lamp, a speed light, or window light. But, a bounce card / reflector should also be used to fill in the shadows and dark areas. You can use more than one bounce card / reflector. These can be commercial reflectors, foam core, white cardboard, or pieces of white paper. Diffusors can be commercial made, a shower curtain, fabric, etc.
You can choose any subject you like. If you feel like creating an idiom which was fun last year, feel free if that gets your juices going. Ex. The Cat’s Out Of the Bag etc. or make a small still life, whatever you like. The learning focus is on the light and using it as a tool to enhance your image.
We will meet at Newman United Methodist Church, 132 NE B St, Grants Pass, OR 97526. Use the below-ground side entrance, there is parking on the this side as well.
We will share and enjoy the images together and talk about the challenges and answer questions etc. You have until SUNDAY NOV. 14th to get your images to Dave Church…use our competition parameters for sizing.
Above all, have fun! Cheers, Susan and Larry

Nomeca writes about her image:
This Bandon Beach shot nearly didn’t happen as first the moon and then the rising and falling mist interfered with getting a clean shot of the Milky Way. In fact, my shooting companion had already thrown in the towel, taken a warm shower and was resting in bed when I phoned her up and said it might be possible to get a decent shot if she hurried back out. ( she did much to my surprise). Those few minutes were all that we had and I succeeded in getting the 4 shots I needed before the mist closed in for good for the night. Nikon D750, 24mm lens, f/2.2 and 15 secs at ISO 3200 on a tripod.
I have been a member of the camera club for many years and enjoy the field trips, the photo challenges, and sharing the photo journeys’ of the many excellent photographers who pass through our doors.
Congratulations, Nomeca, on your beautiful image! Look for Nomeca’s image soon in the Daily Courier!
