Jeff Fevens will be giving a workshop on Smoke Photography for Photo Fredericton Club Members only.

The Workshop will be happening at the Fredericton Playhouse in their rehearsal hall. It is located on the backstage second floor, sorry that means 2 flights of stairs. You will enter at the Stage Door that is located on Saint John Street near the back of the building. It will have a sign over that says “Stage Door”. There signs once through the door leading you to the room. The door will be open at 6:30pm but for security sake will be closed and locked by 7:10pm. So if you are planning on coming please arrive between those 2 times or you might not be able to get in.

There will have 3 stations setup for use to use, one for Nikon users, one for Canon users and one that will be setup that is optically triggered for other people with other brands.

The people coming who aren’t Nikon and Canon users will need to either have an on camera flash or a speed light that they can put on their camera and manually adjust the output setting to a “low” setting to trigger the optical flashes. If you are unsure about your flash, I suggest that you look at the camera/flash manual to figure how to do that before you arrive at the workshop. That way you can optimize the time you have to get captures.

If you have a tripod, please bring it as well. There will be one that people can use at the Nikon location, but to get the best results in smoke photography you need your camera on a tripod.

It is recommend that you bring a lens that  is a 24-70mm or a 24-105mm or a 24 - something above 70 that should work.

Your camera must be able to switch into manual focus mode.

For best results, the camera itself should be in able to do manual exposure settings.

We will start the evening talking about smoke photography and talking about settings, then letting you loose to take photos.

The Smoke will be created using sandalwood incense. And the room will become rather full of that smell. I cannot not vent the room as it will cause a breeze that will adversely affect the smoke trails.
