What you'll learn in this lighting class:

Learn how to get the most out of your external flash unit.

From adjusting the power of the flash to choosing how to position the flash, this class will help you become more skilled when using your external flash unit.

There are lots of ways you can use flash to light your subject. Should you fire the flash straight at the subject? Use fill flash? What about bouncing the light? How about using accessories to modify the light from the flash? We'll cover all these topics and more. You’ll be guided to using your flash in the auto mode and adjusting the strenght of the flash as well as using it in manual mode and dialing the power up or down.

We meet at 6:15 am (sorry!), and then the sun comes up about 6:50 am on the east side of the Tidal Basin. Thus, with the sun behind us, we photograph our way around the Tidal Basin,...
