Speedlight Workshop

At the beginning of September, I went to a Nikon Club workshop about using a speedlight. I have had mine for years, and have used it very occassionally for events, but have never really realised the full potential and decided a workshop was the best way to learn. I also enjoy the time spent with other local photographers anyway.

We learnt about all the settings I have been too scared to try, and about how to use the flash remotely triggered by the on-camera flash. We were able to use 5 flashguns to light photos as we each had one, which was tricky but lots of fun. It was so hard as we didn't have anything except our hands to hold the flashguns, and trying to hold them evenly when different people were in control was almost impossible! We had the chance to be models and pose, then direct shots and show everyone else where to hold their flashes!
