LIGHTING A PORTRAIT WITH NATURAL LIGHT
Well, today was my big day....the Portraiture and Lighting workshop given by Scot Hill in Austin.
It said beginner to intermediate, but the other students were not beginners...I was the only one.
This is what I learned today:
1. Photographers are very helpful to beginners.
2. The more I learn the more I realize I need to know.
3. Portraiture and studio work are not my forte.
4. I make a better model than a portrait photographer.
5. It isn't enough to buy photography books, you must read them.
(especially your camera manual)
6. I want a better camera, but must learn more first.
7. Inanimate objects are much easier (see below), although I did get a couple
of good photos of the model (with Scot's camera!)
