Camera Club Presentation
I worked a wee bit late and headed straight out to Chatswood to help Ray with the Lighting presentation. Earlier in the day I had let Ray know that we were missing a C-Stand, and he grabbed one from Premier Lighting (since he was there anyway picking up an HMI light). So all was well, and I arrived good and early after only two wrong turns and we set it all up. Ray gave the talk, I interjected once or twice, and it was all over. The talk was fine, if a little short – I learned quite a few low-budget tricks and also about something called, I think, black foil – it’s thick aluminium foil painted black, which you can attach to lights and cut holes in. Ray showed the benefit of the lights, the different price ranges, and we did a very basic lighting setup (not even the classic three-point lighting, either).
The audience however – well, I think they weren’t particularly interested or convinced or something. They were all about the age of fifty or so, about forty of them, and most of them had their arms folded as if they had already decided they didn’t need all this fancy lighting stuff. Their questions reflected this. Oh well.
