We will meet at the Church at 7pm for an evening of exploration in lighting and portraits. Bring your cameras and tripods and try out three different lighting scenarios – three lights, one light and natural light. You can shoot, pose if you like, ask questions and investigate these lighting schemes and how they can improve your portrait skills. Larry Pollock and Jim Ingraham, both professionals with loads of lighting experience will take us through an evening that should prove to be ‘enlightening’. See you on the 16th!
Susan writes about this image: I shot this recently at a friend’s farm in Northern California. I got inside the chicken coop with the chickens as the sun was going down with my camera and a smile. Shot with an Olympus EM1Mklll.
“Light Experiment #5” is a photo I shot in my garage/studio. It is a lesser known type of photography known as Light Painting. This particular image was shot using only the light I “painted” in a completely dark space. The photo was shot in an 8 second exposure with the camera firmly mounted on a tripod. The light that created the image was achieved using only a small flashlight and an RGB LED strip mounted on a homemade tool which I spin as I slowly walk forward. Two small acrylic blades were mounted onto the tool, and the light that emits from the flashlight and led’s shine onto the edges of the acrylic blades. Small colored gels are used to create whatever color I choose to create in the photo. No Photoshop trickery was used, just some sharpening and a crop were used. The image is exactly what the camera captured. Shot with a Canon 5D Mark IV, 24-70mm lens at ISO 500, aperture 7.1 and an 8 sec. exposure.
Congratulations Dale ! Look for Dale’s image soon in the Daily Courier
