This was our last meeting before the Christmas break and it inevitably was influenced by the holiday spirit! We began by exchanging our Secret Santa gifts. We continued by getting to know the work and life of the monstre sacré of photography, Henri Cartier Bresson. An all-encompassing repetition of technical subjects to solve any questions that might pop up and fill the theory gaps of those who missed a few meetings. Lastly, we took a group photo.

In today's meeting we continued our efforts of getting to know Henri Cartier Bresson by watching a presentation of his biography, accompanied by several of his photos. Afterwards we had lots fun playing some kind of tag: Then we continued and revisited a subject we had explored previously, the flash. This time we focused on the stroboscopic flash. Here are some of the shots we took: Unfortunately, the lack of a proper background led to reflections that reduced the quality of the images. We hope that the next time we’ll think of a way to overcome this obstacle!

Our afternoon meetings continue, as we’re experimenting with the flash, and we need the area to be dark. There’s nothing better than starting off with a game. And that’s what we did!  Afterwards we watched a video in which Plato Rivellis presented the work of Henri Cartier Bresson. The greatest part of the meeting however, was dedicated to the technical matters of the flash and  rear curtain sync.  Here are two photos (in two versions each) that we took:
