Get close and personal with your flash

PRESS RELEASE

Creative Flash Course 22nd November 2009

£65.00 per delegate

How many of you are frightened of your flash, not sure how to use it properly, or want to just get creative but not quite sure how.

Why do all your images look either over-lit or the background goes dark or you loose all the detail, or the lighting just looks flat?

Well no need to worry because all you need are clear, concise and easy to understand instructions that will take you through the whole process of taking control of your camera flash (not pop-up flash).

Photography Workshops have developed a 1-day course that will teach you how to understand,

and more importantly help you take control of your flash, and from that create stunning images.

All you need to create memorable photographs is within your grasp and requires just one flashgun, that’s right just one. Forget all those complicated lighting set-ups, with just one flash gun, this course will demonstrate in very simple and easy to understand terms how to get the very best out of what is to some people an alien piece of equipment.

Most people will be content to leave their flash on the camera and bang away; well photography workshops will show you how, with very inexpensive add-ons, the way to create images just like the professionals.

Being a professional Terry Hewlett lswpp lbipp, who runs these courses, has used the all-singing and all-dancing equipment and understands the complexities of lighting, but more importantly knows how to simplify the system to produce stunning results.

This 1-day course will strip down all the confusing jargon and illustrate just how simple it is to generate images that will be the envy of everyone you show them to.

The course will include subjects like:

ØHow can I use my flash properly

Ø When and where to use flash.

Ø What all the numbers and buttons mean

Ø The relationship between shutter speed and aperture

Ø How to control the flash when on-camera and off camera

Ø The quality of the light

Ø Working manually with your flash

Ø Using a light meter to measure ambient and flash combined

Ø Bouncing flash

Ø Light modifiers

Ø Using gels

Ø And how to be really creative with just one flashgun

The course is held in the National Trust Village of Lacock, in the county of Wiltshire, in the same buildings (not the Abbey) where William Henry Fox Talbot (11 February 1800 – 17 September 1877) more than likely worked on the negative / positive photographic process, which he invented, and was the precursor to most photographic processes of the 19th and 20th centuries.

A buffet lunch will be provided and during lunch Terry will be on hand to go through with individuals any aspects of the day they have not fully understood. The course starts at 9:30 am and finishes around 4pm on Sunday 22nd November 2009.

The course costs just £65.00 (including a buffet lunch)
