Apart from cleaning teh lake, the idea is to educate young people and for that there were several educational stands teaching young people about the lake and its environment. This year it all happened on Saturday June 27th and I worked with them documenting the day.

Workshops on lighting

I run a series of workshops on various topics in photography. Lately I have worked with a great group of students on flash techniques and I wanted to show some samples. One image is using a small soft box on a Nikon SB-800 and the other is using two SB-900's zoomed in to create a stronger direct light source. You can guess which one is which!
