Well, today was the day and I met Michael along with the other participants at the Lyndhurst Park Hotel. The weather was perfect (especially for this time of year) with a slightly hazy start then warm bright sunshine later on.
We started the shoot with some wildlife and nature shots, then headed over to a cemetery before stopping for a bite to eat.
After lunch we were given a demo of using reflectors to light portrait shots then tried our hands at panning whilst shooting moving vehicles (to blur the background whilst keeping the subject in focus) before heading over to the local Ferrari showroom. We ending the day with some indoor photos in a church up the road.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and also the first time that I've been out with a group of photographers which was a good experience and allows you to share techniques and pick up tips. What ever level of photographer you are then I would recommend one of these experience days.
Anyway, the photos below are a selection from the morning part of the experience day. I will put some of the afternoon shots in a future post.
