"We've just added a brand new class to our exciting February line-up. Scheduling conflicts prevented us from offering our basic flash course this time around but after so many requests (and pleas) we had to do something ... and we KNOW you will love what we came up with."
USING YOUR FLASH — A NEW WORKSHOP SERIES
(EIGHT STUDENTS ONLY!)
For the first time, the In Focus Learning Center is offering to everyone (no prerequisite required) a specialized in-the field flash training workshop series beginning Feb. 7. Unlike our in-depth basic flash course, we take everyone (from novice to pro) through the ins-and-outs of using their flash to get the best possible photo.
Join us as we explore the tips and tricks of adding light in three popular photographic settings: nature, night and portrait photography. We will introduce students to basic support, communication and modification tools and show them not only how, but when these tools can be used effectively.
There is no need to buy anything extra for this course, no need to worry about not having the right gear. We will use what you have and learn everything it offers! Think of it as four semi-private field trips designed to do nothing but get you great images using your own flash equipment.
We are limiting this class to 8 students … so sign up now to reserve your spot.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
We begin with the basics of flash control covering shutter sync speed, power output, and basic flash tools in communication, modification and support. We will also explore the reasons for employing the flash as well as when it’s appropriate to do so. From simple fill flash to more creative lighting choices, this first session will set the foundation for the student to grow.
From close-up shots to sweeping landscapes, adding light to your scene with a flash has its advantages. In this session, students will be guided in adding light to different tiers (front, back or middle) to bring out the best in their nature shots. We will demonstrate the best placement of your flash (or flashes) as well as if they should be modified and how.
For many of us, shooting at night simply means either using a very slow shutter or overpowering the situation with an out-of-control flash. In this session, we will cover the basics of adding light at night to get the shot we want, as well as other special effects, strobe, ghosting and repeating flash techniques.
Photographing people in their best light is the key to this session as we use the flash to best enhance our portraits. Students will be guided through different flash angles and the effect each has on a person. We will also cover when to use modification tools, how to use fill flash and even how to use lighting to create mood.
