Using Off Camera Flash during the daytime to create awesome drama

www.funphotoworkshops.com

FYI: This image is not HDR.  This is what happens when you expose for the background and use flash to light your subject.  This image was taken at my workshop in Miami in May.  Using my Pocket Wizards I fired my flash off camera which enabled me to set a different exposure level for my overall image.  A great way to create dramatic contrast in your images!

Next Workshops:

*Online Webinar- How to create your own website for $25/year- next 2 Thursdays

*Estes, Colorado 2 day workshop- July 23, 24

East Coast Workshop Series- August 12-30, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, Washington DC

Camera settings: Nikon D800, 1/250 sec at f/4.0, 18mm at ISO 50, flash fired.  Taken at 4:23pm.

Landscape Photography Workshops by Jason Lanier

My workshops encompass so many different things because that's really who I am as a photographer.  I'll work on many different things like landscapes, weddings, fashion etc. on a workshop because I really believe they all tie in together. Many people say my wedding work is like landscapes with people in it...and I'm fine with that review...:)

This image was taken at my workshop in Tucson, Arizona.  It was a beautiful, clear, COLD night, but we found this spot and just had to take 45 minutes to capture the magic.  No lighting was used for this image, just using what Mother Nature gave us....thanks to all who came!

Next workshop: Las Vegas, Nevada- right after WPPI

Camera settings: Nikon D800, 1/100 sec at f/4.5, 16mm at ISO 1600, flash did not fire.  Taken at 7:27pm on February 12, 2013 by Jason Lanier.

Photography Workshop in Shreveport, Louisiana


I am pleased to announce that we have scheduled another "Learn to Take Better Pictures" workshop in Shreveport Louisiana on April 9, 2011. Photography workshops are such an important part to learning photography as they present an opportunity to learn inside and outside of the classroom. I have tried to fashion my workshops from what I think will be of greatest benefit to my students. I base the itinerary, topics, and the way I present the information from the many workshops I have attended, trying to take out all the things that I didn't find very helpful, and amping up the things that I found to be awesome.

One thing is for sure. My workshops are fun, I allow lots of questions, and I focus on making it very real and tangible. I don't give out information that I don't think will be very helpful. I also don't have a problem sharing what I know because I believe that there are so many clients out there, and so many weddings to shoot that there is no reason to be guarded with what I know.

Perhaps the best thing about the workshop is the fact that we do a hands-on photoshoot. Many times I've been on workshops where there is a model and you kind of stand there and just watch what the instructor is doing. During my workshops I go to great lengths to explain what I am doing. I give opportunities to those that want it to practice on the models and I give tips that will help that photographer to improve their technique.

Come to have fun, come with a lot of questions, and learn to improve your skills! If you're interested in a workshop in your area please email me at jason@jlpros.com and we can come to your area next!!
