Your Name in Lights
The nighttime shoot was a lot of fun, but MAN was it cold! Thanks to everyone who braved the wind chill. We learned about how long exposures work and used some cool flash techniques. The highlight was when we all got to write our names in lights using a small LED keychain light, a 10-second exposure, and a tripod.After about an hour and a half, we all walked over to Starbucks to warm up. Everyone there got treated to the drink of his/her choice. We had such fun, I am sure we’ll do it again….when it is MUCH warmer!I don’t have a definite date or topic for our next club meeting. It will definitely be on a Friday afternoon mid-February. Keep your eyes peeled for an e-mail in the near future!

Nighttime is the Right Time
In today’s meeting, we played with my new (well, new to me) studio lights. Though we had a light turnout, we had lots of fun, and shot some very creative images. We moved the lights and manipulated camera and light position to change the mood of the shots.
Thanks to Ashley M, Derek, Quintin, Brandan, and Eric for suggesting the topic and format of our next meeting! (Click on the image for info.)
On Jan 21, we’ll gather in front of DHHS at 5:30 P.M. (You don’t have school that day, as it is MLK day.) We’ll learn about night photography and long exposures, and shoot for about 1.5 hours. Then, we’ll all walk over to Starbucks for coffee and chill time. (You don’t have to purchase anything to stay and hang out!)
Things to bring if you have them: camera, tripod, flashlight.
Don’t forget: warm coat, gloves, comfortable shoes.
