On and Off Camera Lighting Tutorial

When:
28 August, 2008 - 6:00pm

Where:
K17 seminar room

Do you ever wonder how studio fashion photographs get that studio look or why product photos from the big electronics manufacturers look so much better than the snaps you see up on eBay? One thing that sets the professionals apart from the others is the ability to think about and control light. Join us as we explore the world of photographic lighting - how to think about light, the equipment we can use and how we can incorporate the ideas behind photographic lighting into our general photography. Along the way we'll also learn how to take photos that we admire and deconstruct them in order to learn how to use light in a similar way in our own creations.

Photography Opportunity‏

Closing:
1 June, 2008 - 3:30pm

Where:
The Collegium Music Choir UNSW - John Clancy Auditorium

We are have an exclusive opportunity for one UNSW PhotoClub member to cover this year’s performance from The Collegium Music Choir UNSW on Sunday 1st of June. As the photographer you will be in charge of capturing the various aspects of the day such as actions shots of performers, backstage stills and any spontaneous moments. These pictures will be collated and passed onto the coordinator.

Ideal equipment you will have will be a wide angle lens, fast lens telephoto and of course a DSLR body. A fast lens is crucial for shots during performance as flash photography is not allowed. It would be good idea to make a sound blimp during performance as you do not want to spoil the acoustic from when you released your shutter. This can be made easily by wrapping bubble wraps around your camera to insulate sound.
