Meeting on February 17, 2019

This meeting was rather short-lived, as most members of the group were going to travel to Bucharest the next day.

To begin, we perused some wedding photos which were not the classic, standard shots we are all used to. Demonstrating there is some leeway for someone who wants to express themselves artistically, even in areas of applied photography. 

The main topic we occupied ourselves with was the flash. We learned some basic things about its function, such as that it can be used to “freeze” an image.

We conducted a little experiment in which we threw flour in to the air and tried to “freeze” its movement whilst it was falling. And of course, we did this in the dark of the day. Although the exposure time was quite long, the image was indeed “frozen”, as the shutter speed does not affect the exposure when using the flash, it only does so for ambient lighting.
