Life through our lens

Light Play 2: The Swan Valley

_MG_8807

Light Play 2 was a great success! We and when I say we I mean myself, Mona, Seng and Gideon, took a bus load of photographers and two models into the beautiful Swan Valley to shoot in a variety of lighting conditions, which included natural light, strobes (lumopro lp160′s) and then finally a Ranger Quadra for some overpowering sun. The idea was to give the participants a taste of the different lighting equipment available, which I think we achieved.

The day was separated into 3 shoots. 2 before lunch and 1 after. The first two saw the participants start off with natural light, then after a change in location we moved into balancing natural light with LumoPro LP160′s. By this time everyone was starving so we headed off to the Iron Bark Brewery for some much needed food and a drink or two.

Following that we headed out to our final destination which while we were setting up in the vineyards the participants go to do a bit of wine tasting.

Here are a few photos we took on the day.

As a bonus to the participants we organised an optional light painting workshop to be run in the evening. Pretty much everyone came along and enjoyed this little bonus.

It was great meeting all the participants, in most cases for the first time. If you want to see some more photos from the workshop have a look a Seng’s post here.

Missed out on this one. Don’t worry we will have details on upcoming workshops very soon.

Wow! I really like the way the shower of light plays off the water in both photos I bet that was an awesome sight to see in person too.
