Backlighting, Bokeh and Bursts

Backlighting, Bokeh and Bursts

Saturday 12 October
Millbrook - 10am - 2 Hours
David Ross
We will be using various techniques to maximise the behaviour of the light. Backlighting is one of my favourites and can be used for portraiture or nature. Bokeh is Japanese for blur but is a term used for soft out of focus balls of light which can look very pleasing. Burst in this case is star burst which can be achieved when you have strong areas of light and a correct choice of aperture. Use all three to create some amazing compositions.

    Title or Location: Wellington Point
    Got to Wellington point and the tide was nice and low, the sun was blazing and about to set.I walked along the sand bar to try and get the right framing with the sun in the background as the surfers jumped out of the water.The photos looked quite bland out of the camera but once processed I was able to bring out some awesome colors from the sunset.

    Title or Location: Horse Head Rock, Bermagui, NSW Australia
    Horse Head Rock is not accessible at high tide, so planning for a sunset shot in this location needs to be planned well. Photo was taken during a seascapes workshop that I was leading in Australia.

    I was bored and tried to emulate the lighting from a cat photographer I follow lol. My cat actually cooperated and stayed in one location, but apparently was hungry...Shot with Canon R6 Mk II with 24-70mm. SS 1/200, Aperture f5.6 ISO 100. Flash is inline with camera and above at 45 degree angle.

    I have visited Page before, and been to upper and lower Antelope Canyon, which I much enjoyed. Wanting to see more, last year I tried Canyon X, and was not disappointed. I was able to bring a tripod, which you can no longer do in the Antelopes.

    Title or Location: John Bell Zoo
    Visiting the John Bell Zoo for the first time while visiting my parents. Enjoyed the zoo so much I can back the very next day. The highlight of my visit was seeing the Lynx kits running and playing in their outdoor habitat. I spend half the day watching and photography of them. In the photo, you see one of the kits finally taking a moment to rest but at the same time sees the size of my camera - Fuji GFX100.
