D90 Workshop: Model Shooting

Accidentally get to know about this workshop from lowyat.net forum. It was not a hot topic but it catch my eyes. It’s a good opportunity for me to upgrade my skill and knowledge instead. But the whole course cost you RM90. So i register myself, together with my housemate and his colleague, who also own D90. And yes, the course exclusively for Nikon D90 DSLR owner. HOHO.

They begin the workshop with a speaker named Kelvin. He is one of the director of biggest advertisement company. And he shoot great photo. “Power of Light”. He explained very well how to catch the light and how to capture an artistic photography. And ever seen them, we see the sky different. 30 minutes before and after sunrise/sunset, the sky will appear as different color. Witness it yourselves, look up the sky. After the workshop, LCH was driving around 7pm++ and we was, wow, the sky is so nice. HAHA. And ever since then, we use spot metering instead of matrix metering.

OK. I think the RM 90 is really for hiring hot model. I mean HOT till one of the model get sun burn. Her skin totally turn red and LCH keep calling her LOBSTER. HAHA. We were shooting under hot sun from 10.30am till 12.30pm before we head for lunch break.

Here are the photo after some re-touch. HEHE.

The afternoon session was boring because the speakers were too much over, like selling themselves instead of D-Movie. We have model dancing and we suppose to take video. But i run out of memory. Those model fill up my memory card. HAHA.

Anyway, first time i feel satisfy with model shooting or even try taking portrait photo. There are still many space i have to fill up, my photography skill as well as photoshop. HEHE.

Thanks Nikon Malaysia for such event. Hope you guys can come up with more.

I will still use matrix instead of spot metering. because spot metering cannot be applied to your photos all the time.

when is the best time to apply spot metering? it depends on your creativity on your photos.

i found myself paying rm90 just for the model shoot and meals. ok, kelvin gave us a nice lecture but overall, he didn't give us technical details. it's just impossible to squeeze everything in a single day workshop. and the crappiest thing happened that day was the super boring video workshop. it shouldn't be included in the workshop at the first place because we just wanna concentrate on photography!! damn!!

sorry for a bit long here. long time didn't rant liao!! heng!!
