The first method consisted of placing a white card under the light of where the subject will be, fill the whole frame with the white card as the subject & select the custom white balance mode, take a shot & the white balance automatically selects the colour temp for that scene your about to shoot in.
We were also introduced to the EXPODISC. This is placed in the same area as a filter and is used in place of the white card to again manually set a white balance in camera. Its measures the incident light falling where your subject will be placed.
We then went onto an introduction / revision on flash kits, how to set them up, different accessories & situations you may have to use the different lights & flash accessories in. We also touched on a few OH&S hazards & how to avoid them when out in the field (bright tape on stands to avoid tripping etc)
Then we got to set up our own kits in groups & take 2 images using 2 different lighting techniques. Megan Olsen, Amy Mills, Stephen Kakk & Myself worked together & these are our results...
Flash Kit - High Key Lighting
Speedlight - Butterfly Lighting = Shadows too harsh
Speedlight - Butterfly Lighting = Use of reflector to soften shadows
