I propose meeting at the handicap area north west of the railroad, see map.

As for me (Long), I'll leave early to make time back to school for my 1:30pm class.

If you can't find us, call my number, listed in the 'when and where are your photoshoots' section on the right side of the website.

how high speed sync works

Also describes the shutter mechanism and why that plays a role in the flash sync limit.

Regular Friday Meet

This Friday, I don't know that we will get to go off-campus as we were thinking due to a good chance of rain. So for now, we will have our regular shoot Friday at noon in the art barn.

Thursday, April 1, 2010 Photoshoot

anyone wanna do photoshoot then meet me in the artbarn at 5:30 pm

Last friday down at the creek and more

Here is a behind the scenes look at Long's set.

You can see the two flashes placed to either side (the flash on the right is blocked by Alex).

The flash on the right was rigged up quite fancily with 3 ways to trigger it. We have a sync cord as Long mentioned, a PocketWizard Plus II, and Alex's RadioPopper JrX.

And here's what I got using the same flash setup.

# Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250) [+]
# Aperture: f/5.6 [+]
# Focal Length: 160 mm [+]
# ISO Speed: 100 [+]



And later, we took a few more of Cara. (No flash used on these)

This was taken up in a tree with my camera above my head. This would not have been possible without live view lol.

High speed syncing

1/8000th f3.8 ISO 400
Two flashes at 1/8 power

1/2500th f3.8 ISO 400
Two flashes at 1/8 power

Here is the strobist article that describes the technique being done with high shutter speeds using flash. Nikon CLS and Canon E-TTL can perform these kinds of shots too using small flash pulses to cram as much light needed onto the subject in fast shutter speeds.

meet this friday 3/6

Most of us missed last week, but we are at it again this week with our normal Friday photo shoots. Friday, at noon, in the Art Barn.

We will discuss some off-campus shoots like rescheduling the zoo trip and a possible park/woods outing.

see you there!

Walk in the Woods

I want to host an off campus meet at the Spring Creek Nature Area. No artificial lighting needed. Just scouting photos.
pdf map: http://www.cor.net/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=3822
Where shall we park and exactly meet up then?
I propose meeting at the handicap area north west of the railroad, see map.

Lines

Whew... Okay, I need to make three more ideas to complete my color photography assignment by this Friday.

SNOW...SNOW...SNOW

TODAY ONLY !!!!!! SUNDAY, MARCH 21, 2010

So the zoo canceled, If anyone want to do snow photo shoot call me @ 214-392-1915.

zoo trip cancelled

Due to the weather, there will be no zoo trip tomorrow. We will reschedule it for another weekend.

I missed the memo about the noon Friday meeting being cancelled for spring break. On the bright side, with no classes in session, I was able to use the dark seminar room for some light painting.

Exposure: 30-seconds

Lights: 2 $1 "tap lights"

Subject: old lantern retrieved from my car

off campus shoots - postponed till further notice.

edit to add: No shoots this week due to weather.

We discussed on Friday's meet about off campus shoots during the spring break. For now, here is the game plan:

-Downtown Dallas, West End on Thursday night around 7-8pm. Maybe go by DART? eat out?

-Dallas Zoo on Saturday morning, the 20th.

No models, just ourselves.
Let us know your questions.
