Photography Event Idea

[irlmin]

I know many People enjoy taking pics of their minis and I personally am totally dim as regards how to take decent pics , I think it might be a good idea to organise a get together and take some pics and swap tips etc , I would like to be able to take some 'night shots ' you know the kind , old buildings / bridges , etc in the background with the MINI really bright in the front of frame .so who is up to organise it any 'special' lighting needed etc .

Well, as an SLR user, the trick to most special photography would be good exposure values, the correct apeture settings, and ISO settings. I completely love the use of long exposures on a Tripod. For example, you could have someone's MINI static, take the shot, and have people walk around it a few times. You'll get Ghosts around the car, but the car and the background will be perfect.

Volunteering is a word I'm usually unable to pronounce. IF, and this is a big if, I have some free time, I will volunteer alright, but it would be a great idea to invite the photography heads from boards.ie to come along, they're always looking for models, and new ideas to shoot, and a lot are based in Cork, etc. They'd be happy to share the fruits of their labour too!

[irlmin]

Sounds good , I think that would benefit us as we could watch how its done and share the pics etc , can You make the contacts needed
