Night Workshops

Very chilly last night in Adelaide and the usual from the city council not everything was lit up, this workshop it was the cross near St Peters that was not illuminated. Despite this the people that attended enjoyed themselves and appeared to learn a lot.

Here's a couple of photos I managed to have the time to take.

Experimenting with some light painting during the night we managed to come up with this shot.

 This one was taken without using a light source to emphasis the difference.

And this one is using the light source, notice in the first photo we cant see the tree in the foreground, however in the second we can clearly see the tree after painting it with some light.

If you would like to attend one of our workshops and learn some of these techniques please get in touch via the contact section on our website.

The Apeture Experiment

Different lenses will give slightly different results, so heres a little experiment you can do to test the capabilities of your lens and help you gain a better understanding of what will happen as you adjust the  apeture setting on your camera.

The experiment is to take three photographs of exactly the same thing, one photo at the lowest setting your lens will allow, one middle of the range and one at the highest setting, making sure each photo is focussed on the object.

You should see something similar to this happening.

The first photo is taken with an aperture setting of 2.8

The second is taken with an aperture setting of 8

The third is taken with an aperture setting of 16

You should notice as the setting increases so does the depth of field, bringing more of the background into focus as well.
