Portrait Workshop
30th May 2010
Catlin
I have been in the gallery all day today, and have hardly seen a soul , but I have had so much processing to do that it has been great to get a bit of quite time to get things done.
I am posting some pictures taken yesterday.
Jenny
Yesterday I was leading a morning “workshop” on daylight portrait photography. Carol , one of the participants , brought her daughter Jenny and Jenny’s friend Catlin to act as models. They have all agreed that I can use their pictures on this blog.
We had agreed on a location and that we would not be using flash ( off camera Flash is another workshop!) but the weather was very misty with heavy cloud cover so this made for very challenging conditions. We were using shutter speeds as low as 20th second at f2.8 and iso of 800.!
Still with careful placement of the models and good camera techniques we got some good portraits.

Best of friends
the models take a break and shelter from the rain
tripods were required due to low light levels.

The last picture taken ,and my favourite.
Jenny and Catlin were great, you'd think they were modelling for years!
