On Camera Flash – Goto Settings – Demystifying Wedding lighting
Understanding lighting, metering and controls will allow you to work faster and more accurately on a wedding day to create consistent accurate exposures which in turn allows faster editing and workflow in post processing. Lighting 101 will help you understand lighting and camera behaviour to help you create stronger images.
After an initial theory stage we’ll be joined by our bridal model for photography training inside and out before finishing with a second theory session and closing with any questions you may have.
Areas we’ll cover:
- Camera Metering Modes how our cameras work out exposure and the best for each situation on a wedding day, predicting errors and correcting
- Finding and using natural light, even mixing with on camera flash outdoors for candids, couples and groupsyou’ll learn how to select the best locations and camera settings to maximise them
- Camera Exposure modes and how we change modes through the day for different lighting situations
- On Camera Flash – How we use on camera flash on a wedding day, inside and out
- Exposure Priorities, how we prioritise the elements in the exposure triangle
- White Balance and temperature control
- Goto settings for indoor wedding photography, groups, speeches, candids and dance floor
- Shooting in dark locations without crazy ISOs
