Our first meeting of the year welcomed Graham Roberts, President of Harrogate Photography Society. He came along to speak to us about photographing our work. He explained the best way to get a good picture was to use an easel and have a camera on a tripod at right angles to the subject. To take care with our mounts as white can take colour away when photographing, grey was a better colour, he suggested we make a reflective sheet using kitchen foil on a sheet of hardboard. The foil sheet can be used to reflect light onto subjects. To take photos on a dull day or use a net curtain to deflect the light when the sun is bright, not to use any electric lights.
Graham also talked generally about iPhone & camera settings, which was very useful.
A big thank you to Graham for taking the time to assist us. I think we all benefitted from Graham's talk and look forward to see lots of professional photos later in the year.
