Two flash portraits
23.04.12
An audience of forty members absorbed the information which Ian Boys disseminated in his talk of how to produce portaits using two flash guns and a little ingenuity. Ian demonstrated his techniques, using club members as subjects and the results were instantly displayed on a screen so that everyone could see the results.
An interesting and informative evening, thank you Ian.
