Join me for an “Introduction to Speed-Lights” class, Nov. 24 6-8 pm at the Goshen Photography Guild, 212 W. Washington Street Goshen. Pre-Registration is required.
This class is for current DSLR shooters who want to get the most out of using a camera-mounted speed-light AND learn how to get even better results by moving the flash off-camera. We will shoot demonstration photos as we discuss hard and soft light and explore diffusion options using umbrellas and soft-boxes. We’ll shoot in manual mode using a light meter and discuss inexpensive trigger and flash options. We’ll also review choices in radio transmitters including Pocket Wizard and Canon’s ST-E3-RT.
Please sign up using the link below. Please email or comment if you have questions! stuart@stuartmeade.com

I was impressed by a remarkable looking sky as I drove slowly down a rural county road near North Manchester. I spotted a silver lining in the sky and followed it for a couple of miles until I found this interesting shaped tree in a pasture. To get a decent perspective for a photograph, I scampered up a very steep bank where I then teetered with my camera between a drop-off and an electric fence. I had just started taking photos when the silhouette of a cow’s head emerged from over the hill. I then I did what any devoted photographer would do, I began calling cows. Minutes later two curious animals had made their way up the hill to see what all the commotion was about.
Today's editing software allows for manipulation of photos well into the realm of the ridiculous. That said, post-production editing is an important aspect of the photography process. When done right, editing can make photos look more like how we see the world with our own eyes.
Slight photo enhancements are okay but fakes are not.
