LOCATION: Senior Citizens Hall, 3 Hallett Place, Port Lincoln.
TIME: 27 September, 10 am to 4 pm.
There are many things that you can do with Flash. A flash will fire a quick burst of light to illuminate a scene or subject. If a scene is too dark, the flash will add enough light to capture your subject. It is great for portraiture or tabletop scenes. However, many people have flash but have been intimidated by learning the concepts involved and, too often, the initial results of overexposed images and red eye. This workshop has been designed to take the fear out of using flash and increase your confidence with this form of photography. Practical skill development is emphasised.
