Practical – Camera angle and focal lens selection

Jonathan will have 2 continuous lighting setups with backgrounds, so tripods would be a good idea, but he will bring a few spare ones if people let him know.
There will be a variety of subjects (saxophone, cine projector, action man and a nuts) which should allow 4 different shots.
Note that there will be no online meeting option for this event.

Creating Impact and Mood with Steve Hedges

A welcome return to the club for Steve Hedges who received excellent feedback for his photographic lecture last year on Cityscape and Night Photography.
This time Steve focuses on how to create an image that really has the ‘wow’ factor. An image with impact and mood. He will show a series of before-and-after pictures with the after picture being a big improvement over the before picture. He finds this really emphasises the importance of thinking about what you want to achieve before you hit the shutter release. He will then move on to talk about the thought process behind creating a great picture and the various techniques to help achieve that aim.
