Sony Alpha Flash Workshop + Model Shoot (Andante)

Sony are always generous to give away free workshops every month... and this is the second workshop I attended... the 1st was Basic Workshop and this time is flash workshop. You might think that "Cheh... I can learn everything from the manual"...

But those are not the only thing I learned from this workshop... The best part of the workshop was during the Model Shoot... The trainer taught us how to make a photo not like an ordinary photo... How to make use of the flash other than only Bounce it...

Below were the shots I took during that day... Keep in mind that no special equipments are used other than F56/F58 flash that we put in wireless mode...





I personally like the last one most... because the tones and details really attracts me... (",)

My 1st Sony Alpha Workshop

After so many months I bought my camera and registered as a Sony member... Finally I successfully registered for the workshop. From there... I learned a lot of basics which I don't know... Most of what is taught was not in the manual itself.

The Class
John Shum was the main guy who gave the talk. He explained in detail what each function of the camera is used for and how to get the effects that we want from the photos.

We also have Denise Chan to share her passion for photographing through her work. She showed us some of her photos and that really inspire me... She took photo every weekends... And it was as early as six thirty in the morning which she normally start her journey. Every weekends at six something I believe most of us are only doing one thing... SLEEP...

We had a short period of photoshooting at around 4pm. It was outdoor on and beside the street. And below are some of the photos I took:

Jerry didn't take much photos. Maybe he is more interested in shooting still objects or landscape... Well... I don't know... but I'll find out.
