FLASH: Improve your lighting techniques
Sunday will see me heading down to Garage Studios, a local Brighton based photographic studio, to take a course entitled FLASH: Improve your lighting techniques. I own a Nikon SB-800 AF flash unit but only know how to do the very basics with it and would like to know how to do more.I thought it would be useful to record what I hope to gain from attending the course, so that I can see how well it does and I do, so:
I'm really looking forward to my day, I am a bit anxious that I'm a total newbie on all things flash, but I was reassured that at least part of the day will be spent going back to basics (well, not back for me obviously) so I hope to learn lots...
- how to actually use my flash in anything other than the automatic mode
- understand how to balance flash light against natural or alternative light sources to get the right exposure rather than having to correct in Lightroom
- how to make use of reflectors
- what difference is made by taking the flash off the camera
