SPARTA CAMERA CLUB MEETING: CAMERA NIGHT

7:30pm - 10:00pm

7:30pm – 8:00pm: Socializing/Networking

8:00pm Camera Night begins. The focus of the evening is lighting. Attendees will break up into 3 groups and travel between 3 separate stations, spending about 20 to 30 minutes per group at each station.

Station 1: "Using Natural and Available Light to Illuminate your Portraits" with Paul Michael Kane. In this session, we’ll focus on utilizing continuous tone lighting to illuminate your subject. Demonstrations will be given on the different sources and applications of light and how it relates to your subject. Tools used will include TD5 Spider Lights, Umbrella Stands and bare bulb lights. Professional and Do-It-Your-Self reflectors will be demonstrated as well.

Station 2: "Still Life Photography with continuous lighting" with Clarke Warren. The first segment of Clarke's table-top still life demonstration will challenge members make a white styrofoam ball look 3 dimensional. Members will then apply what they've learned to a single flower close-up, adding dew, and Golden-Hour sunlight, all in the Ambulance Building basement.

Station 3: "Introduction to strobist photography and its equipment" with Mark Miller. The term "strobist" refers to a style of photography where inexpensive, compact and portable on camera flashes (strobes) are used off of the camera to achieve professional and dramatic lighting results for portrait, still life and other types of photography. Members will be able to view and learn about some of the various types of flashes(strobes), light stands, flash triggers and light modifiers that can be used for strobist photography. 

This is a hands on Camera Night, so please bring your camera (and a tripod if you have one) to this meeting.
