The Strobism Workshop
Have you recently purchased or are looking at buying speedlites/flashguns and are unsure what to do with them? Does turning these things on make you drop them and run whilst they make a high pitched whine?
No problem, Rick Bradbury & Mark Boadey (presenter of New To Photo www.newtophoto.com) will be covering the basics of using off camera flash.
We are going to get you started on using Speedlites/Flash, keeping it simple and spending as much time shooting as possible.
If you want to learn how to get started in of camera flash photography please register your register interest and book your place soon as we only have 10 spaces available.
Topics to be covered:
1.) Gear requirements / getting started with out breaking the bank.
2.) Introduction to speedlites and wireless triggers.
3.) Setting your camera to use with Flash (White Balance), Say no to Auto LCD brightness!
4.) Exposure Variables.
5.) Sync Speed.
6.) Setting your light up and finding a good exposure & dealing with underexposed or over exposed images.
7.) Inverse Square Law (i know its technical but it is part of it)
8.) How to deal with a Model on set (Location or Studio)
9.) Q & A
10.) Shooting - During Shooting Rick & Mark will split the groups and be on hand to guide setups and shooting to follow on from what has been covered earlier.
Max Number of Attendees: 10
We will have 2 models for the workshop so numbers can be split in to 2 groups of 5.
--Gear List--
Both Rick & Mark have plenty of lights and rechargeable batteries, as well as light stands, brackets and modifiers. All you need to bring along is listed below.
Camera (with Manual mode/hot shoe)
A Lens - Your Kit Lens will do just fine, but feel free to bring your others.
1* Speedlite - Just one will do - Start Simple. (Bring your own so you can get hand on with them if needed.
Spare AA Batteries for your Speedlites
Wireless Triggers (if you have them), we have a few sets if not.
Don’t worry about light modifiers we have that covered.
The reason we have asked you to bring some of your own lighting kit if you already have it is so you can get hands on with the gear you have, get to know it. But please don't feel you to go out and spend money on new gear just for this, you don’t. In-fact we would be more than happy to speak to you regarding gear/equipment to get you started during the workshop.
We look forward to working with you and C3.
Rick & Mark
