Macro photography can benefit greatly from the use of flash. The closer you get the more difficult it is to get light on the subject and on this course, usually held at butterfly houses, we demonstrate different flash techniques from the built in gun, external guns and macro flash through to using multiple flashguns for stunning results. We have macro and flash equipment for delegates to use on the day.

These events are designed to give an in-depth understanding, building on the knowledge you already have. It is important that delegates attending any of the flash events have both the basics of photography and the key settings on their cameras mastered. We will assume a competency of the level of delegates who have attended both the Understanding your digital EOS and the Making the most of your digital EOS courses. Please look at these courses in the prospectus and ensure that you meet these requirements. | Canon Digital EOS cameras only. A flashgun is essential which must be a Canon EX series gun and an omnibounce diffuser of similar is useful. Lenses for the full in flash portrait and general and interior photography can be just the normal wide and tele zoom combinations found in most outfits. For the close up and macro event a macro lens is required, or zoom lens with tube or close up lens and the ability to take the flash off camera via the speedlite transmitter or off camera lead is useful. We do have a limited amount of flash and macro equipment available to borrow on the day but this needs to be “booked” at the time of booking as there is a limited amount available. |
