Hi Everyone,

I totally forgot about putting this on the meetup till I got my email from adult ed.

If you are a beginner in digital photography, I teach a Basic Digital class at the Milford Adult Ed at Foran HS.  Classes begin tomorrow night from 7-9 and go for 7 weeks.  This is a great class to learn basic to intermediate digital photo techniques.

GF119 Digital Photography – Beginners Tuition: $69

Learn how to get the most out of your digital camera: photo and file management, the card reader and more. Get creative with camera modes, flashes, compositions, and how to capture portraits and landscapes through the proper use of light. A non-refundable $40 fee is payable to the instructor at the first class. Limit: 15 students.

Tuesday/Sept.27 7:00-9:00 p.m. 7 weeks Foran HS, Rm. 391 Residents: $69 Non-residents: $79 Milford Seniors: $59

There is a $40 cash tech fee due to me paid at the first class to cover all my expenses for the class

If you are an advanced shooter, I teach an Advanced Photo that is based heavily on lighting.  I’ll cover natural light, speed light, strobe light, and low cost fluorescent or constant lighting.  Models are provided for about 4 of the 7 classes.  This is Thursday nights from 7-9 at Foran HS.

GF114 Advanced Lighting – Photography II

Learn advanced lighting techniques using lightpainting, constant lights, speedlights, and strobe lights in this class and explore external light sources. Use professional lighting equipment in a multitude of ways to explore different aspects of lighting using gear from Photoflex, Westcott, Pocket Wizard and other professional brands. A non-refundable $40 fee payable to the instructor at the first class covers cost of a model for 4 of the 9 weeks. Limit: 15 students.

Also, I’ll be in Andover on Saturday night and Boston on Sunday running two outdoor lighting workshops with Theia Studios.  If you are in the area, join in the fun.  I checked the weather and it looks great for both events.  There is a discount if you book in for both.

I hope to see some of you there!

Model TBD

Gear:

Two Interfit S1 battery monolights

September 17 Location Strobe Lighting Workshop

  • Hi Everyone,

    I cancelled the Headshot Workshop in Middletown as I was having too much trouble organizing it for the day, so I’ve decided to try my luck at a location lighting workshop in New Haven.

    We’ll shoot Location Strobes.

    If you are new or are looking to move up to strobe/monolights for your kit, location shooting is a great way to use them.  With new technologies and battery packs available, location strobes are all the rage right now.

    We’ll shoot a two light kit, going from one key to adding hair or accent lights for a fashion/editorial look.

    Gear:

    Interfit S1 Monolights

    Pocket Wizards

    Skein Light Meter

    Simple modifiers: Umbrella, grids, maybe a softbox

    When you purchase moonlight kits, you normally get two lights so let’s shoot with two and get some great and creative looks.

    Model TBD

    Location is my favorite spot in the courtyard behind the Shubert Theater:

Hey Bob, get the conversation started!

Getting out to shoot

Filters, Lee Filters, Sunset

Hi and welcome back.

It has been a few weeks since my last post, but with the kids in school and the summer ending I’ll be posting back to my regular schedule.

I was a bit in a professional rut this August, so I decided to jump into shooting landscapes again.  I just needed a change of scene.

Last Saturday night I stopped by Gulf Beach in Milford where I live and took a few frames.  The sky at sunset was not that great, but I used a Neutral Density and a Magenta filter to add exposure time and color to the otherwise listless sky.

If you shoot landscapes, you should have these filters.  I use the Lee Brand:

Filter Holder

3 Stop Neutral Density

Magenta

After raw conversion and some color boost, here are my three faves:

_dsc9304

_dsc9307

_dsc9310

Step outside your comfort zone once in a while or just go back to your roots.  I started my career in photography shooting flowers and then rapidly went to landscapes as I loved the light.

Keep your camera with you at all times and shoot as often as you can.  I got three great shots out of only 25 frames.

I had fun, met another photographer there, and just chatted the whole time.  Get out there and shoot!!

Till next time, happy shooting!
