Today’s meeting was set to take place at midnight so, when dusk falls, we could practice on night photography matters. We began with a critique of our photos and continued by looking at Diane’s Arbus pictures. Afterwards we practiced flash techniques.   We experimented with rear curtain synchronization. In both the pictures below the book’s movement was from right to left, however in the second picture we were using rear curtain synchronization in the flash resulting in a more natural depiction of the book’s movement. Then we worked with the stroboscopic flash, however because we were not satisfied with the shots, we will not be presenting them to you. We will nevertheless return to you with our new attempts. Then it was time to freeze an image with flash. We went outside and (it was already dark) and throw semolina in the air. Here is the result:   As you can see, every grain of the fine semolina is visible!   In the end the time was right for o...

In today's meeting we started with a presentation of the work of Nikos Economopoulos, Magnum photographer. We continued with some theory about the flash and its synchronization speed. Then we played a game in which we had to use our minds and work together harmoniously to achieve the solution of the problem given to us. To close we grabbed the camera, placed an ND1000 filter that cuts 10 stops of light on the lens and went out into the yard. There we tried the experiment with the "disappearance" of walking people. Those who were walking were not recorded, while those who stood motionless for a while were recorded as "ghosts".

Here we are again! A health problem of our team teacher kept us apart for a few weeks. Even with a delay of a few weeks, today we cut our traditional sweet bread for the New Year. N…s A…..s won the “gold coin” at which point and he also received the accompanying gift. Then we entered the main lesson and got to know the work of Konstantinos Pittas. We genuinely enjoyed his photos. In the technical part we studied the flash, knowing the basic principles of its operation (to be continued). To close, we played one of our favorite games...
