20090110 - *Shoot Like A Pro* continue continue...

Louis going through the agenda for today's workshop...

Today is the first day I switch my DSLR to Manual Mode, plus without Auto ISO. The only auto mode would be the Auto White Balance. What a improvement~ ;-)

I used to think Manual Mode will limit down my ability to capture the moment, infact, I only realise now that it actually free myself from the limitation and let me have more control over the end result...

Here we were practising to control the camera 'confusion' over a dark subject on a dark background...

Going through the Posing Technique. I remember now, always start with the legs...

A simple group photo becoming extra ordinary due to posing...

More examples...

Everyone is listening carefully...

Louis in action~

Louis showing off his recent shoots...

Review what we have got so far...

Example of diffused light, and how well it works on a lady...

Example of directional light, and how badly it works on lady...

I simply love this one so much~

Here I learn to observe the difference between using a dome diffuser and without one, can you see the shadow behind the flip chart?

This is my flash bounds on ceiling without a dome diffuser, thus cast a visible shadow behind the flip chart...

Many of us in this workshop are from other places, such as this Korean guy is from Sweden... There are students from Lahad Datu, Sarawak and KL...

 

My attempt on Louis Pang's signature of Evening Potraiture... haha~

Louis is demonstrating how to make full use of existing ambient lights...

Another example of making full use of available lights around you...

Thanks to all the amateur models, hope to see you guys on Facebook sometimes...
