Practical Evening - 20th Oct 2022

Theme : Freeze Frame/Slow Frame

Due to unforeseen circumstance we have a change to the original plan (Street Photography practical).

Instead, this week we're going to look at the power of flash and its ability to freeze a subject, as well as showing down our shutter speed to give the impression of motion.

We’ll be experimenting with a "PLUTO" trigger 
We'll also try longer shutter speeds to get motion blur.
Finally, we'll be looking at the importance of finding the correct depth of field during this tabletop practical exercise at the hall

Useful equipment for the evening

  • Tripod

  • Camera

  • Macro/Closeup lens (ideally, but not neccesary)

  • Flashgun/speedlight if you have one (again, ideally, but not neccesary as I have some spares)

If anyone has a small empty fishtank please bring it along! We can try some freezeframes of things dropping into water as well.
