Hello Everyone. Please join us this Friday at the Photography Center for the closing reception for the Summer Show 2008, an exhibit of my students' best work from 2007-08.
Friday, September 19, 7:30-10:00. Wine, coffee and scrumptious mini-deserts by Mark Testa.
Be there or be square, and
Keep Shootin',

The PhotoShow Live, September 4, CSU EBTC Auditorium


No, this photo doesn't show the PhotoShow audience erupting into spontaneous applause; only the results of a live photo shoot just before intermission. We rolled the large softbox (from the Rankin Arts Center's studio) out from stage right and using this one light (White Lightning 600ws Flash) my associate, Nicole, shot me with the audience clapping in the background. Nicole used a slow shutter speed (1/8 sec.) to illuminate the audience using the auditorium's overhead lighting. The slow shutter also allowed the light from the projector to provide rim lighting on yours truly and blur the clapping hands. We were able to show the results to the audience when they returned from intermission.
My thanks to our enthusiastic audience-approximately 90 photographers attended and we had a great time. All attendees got discount vouchers for upcoming classes. BTW, it appears that every class we are offering this Fall will run! Thanks to all area photographers who support our program.
Keep learning and Keep shootin',
Kenny
