Practical Introduction Wedding photography EOS Flash
Practical introduction to wedding photography with EOS Flash
Wedding photograph can be daunting at the best of times and the as you only get one chance at the photography it is important to understand your equipment fully.
Our course concentrates on the use of flash at weddings and how you can control exposures using the various options on the camera’s metering system. After the classroom session we spend the largest part of the course at a local church with our very own bride and groom, suitably dressed for the occasion.
We can cover all the shots you are likely to take inside and out without the pressure of an actual wedding.
The group size is kept to just 10.
