Canon Speedlite Intensive- The things we do for our students

This weekend is our Speedlite Intensive workshop with Hal Schmitt. Yesterday, after a great morning of instruction on the ins and outs of speedlite photography, we headed out to Sweet Springs Nature Preserve to put theory into practice.

Victoria and Becky were good sports and stood in as the models and they were very creative with their costumes. This just shows how dedicated we here at Light are to helping our students learn!

Today, we will be using these powerful little lights to create beautifully soft light as well as edgy and dramatic light for their images.  

If you missed this course and want to improve your lighting skills we have another speedlite workshop coming up this September 22-25 with instructor Jeff Greene. Jeff's workshop "Small Flash, Big Light!" will be a great opportunity to learn small strobes and enhance your lighting skills.

A Few Shots from Macro Critter Day

Best of Light is in session and we had our world famous Macro Critter shoot yesterday afternoon.  Interesting creatures and some fun photography.

We had a mix of ambient light, small strobe, reflector, and studio strobe to light the "talent."  All of the attached shots are from a Canon 7D, EF 180mm f/3.5L, Induro C213, and Really Right Stuff BH-55.

For your best macro shots and the sharpest images remember to use Live View while on tripod. 

Flash again today with models in studio, on location, and at sunset on the beach.  Action tomorrow with horses for beach and sunset.

A hectic week but good living.

Fiat Lux!
