The Carpet Capital Camera Club, in cooperation with the North Georgia Camera Club Council, announces a free seminar at this year’s Photo Shootout in Dalton on Saturday, Oct. 6, at the trade center. Hours for the shootout are 7:30 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Ron Arnold, president of the camera club, said, “Everyone in Whitfield County and surrounding areas is invited to this event, and our club meetings the first and third Monday of each month at the Dalton Creative Arts Guild at 6:30 p.m.”
Visit the Oct. 6 event at the trade center to learn more about area camera clubs, how the Shootout works, meet photo vendors, visit with other photographers and attend the free seminar.
During the shootout, participating clubs will compete to see who can create, process and submit the best images in each of five categories, all in one day. After learning of the five categories that morning, photographers from each club will disperse into the community to capture the finest photos possible. They will then gather in their club’s designated meeting room to download, select, process and submit their photos to their club’s team captain. Members of each club will submit their best photos in each of the five categories. The club team captain will submit the final choices to the Shootout judges by 3 p.m.
All attendees are invited to the free seminar. At 3:15 p.m., Showcase Photo and Video from Atlanta will present the seminar on “Shaping Light: A Small Flash Workshop” with Erik Valind.
Light and your ability to control it have a profound impact on what is communicated in your images. In this hands-on workshop Valind will teach participants how to get the most out of their speed lights so they can create powerful images in studio and on location.
With the assistance of live models and examples from the field, he will discuss and demonstrate the following topics and techniques:
• The characteristics of light and how it behaves.
• Creative ways to control and direct light using modifiers on- and off-camera.
• Camera settings that control light.
• Wireless triggering.
• Gelling your flash for both color correction and dramatic effect.
• Practical tips to help you overcome some of the most common worst-case lighting scenarios.
