Went to the photographic
event, Digital Splash at the Leyland Hotel in Preston on 9th
October. Didn’t think I would be able to make it as I had so much work to do
but decided to give it a go to see what the fuss was. There were many stalls,
all offering up tempting photographic goods that were priced way out of my
league but I continued to walk round, dreaming… Managed to blag my way onto a
workshop sponsored by Lastolite Lighting in a live studio. The photographer,
Keith Trainor, had set up a straight forward lighting kit and in an hour long
session, ten of us were shown how to use a grey and black background and also
using HiLites. The kit we used was the Lastolite Lumen8 Studio Flash. I took
about 20 or so shots, some of which I have published below. It was an
interesting workshop as the photographer explained how he worked events that
could work with over 100 people at a time. He explained how the correct
lighting setup was vital as there would be little or no time for post
production as the photographs would have to be printed very quickly, if not on
site.
