On 5 August we have a tips and tricks evening. We already have requests for explanations of how to photograph water drops, slices of lemon falling in a glass, fast moving subjects (cars etc.) and a request for a back to basics session covering such stuff as

  • Fieldcraft-setting up the shot/composition/lens choice etc
  • Using a filter system-basic intro to using filters
  • Setting up the camera, which settings to use?
  • Breaking the rules, thirds/over or under exposure etc

Portrait evening

The second Nottingham Outlaws Portrait evening of the year was a great chance to learn a bit more about using off camera flash. Specifically balancing the ambient light with flash to make portraits really “pop”.

Many thanks to Steve and model Katherine for their advice and inspiration ( and patience! )

Some of the results of the night can be seen below.

Thursday 3rd June – Flash Photography Demo

Some of you might have met Steve who was a guest at the last club competition. He is actually a photography lecturer specialising in studio and portrait work.  We have invited him to give us a tutorial session on June 3rd, he will be bringing kit and a model, also some money off offers at Calumet.  The idea being that he does a half hour talk, then we move onto shooting the model.

This should be an excellent opportunity to work with studio lights/flash with expert guidance available.

Competition – 2nd Projected Open and Theme (Reflections)
