Canon Eos Discovery Days – Day 1
The first day of giving workshops/demo’s at the Canon Eos Discovery Days went pretty smooth. At first it felt a bit awkward to be in front of such a huge and diverse audience with limited time on my hands and the added hurdle of doing it in Dutch AND French. I’m exhausted but I loved doing it and met so many great people.
I’m too tired to write a whole lot about the day and I left my CF-card at the studio but I found one quick shot to show you at least something.
At the end of the long day when most people went home I couldn’t resist trying to make a quick portrait with every portrait-photographer-who’s-afraid-of-people’s wet dream, the 800mm f/5.6 L IS. There was just an umbrella with a 580EX to camera left. I dropped the shutterspeed to 1/25th to get some light in the background. Man it’s weird to shoot that thing. On my first attempt I couldn’t even find Erika through that lens. And I lost at least 5 pounds by running up and down to adjust my flash a few times.
And now I’m off to bed, because tomorrow is another Eos Discovery Day.
Bert, zoooo mooi!
Je bent een inspirerend fotograaf
groet Vincent
Merci pour cette fabuleuse leçon de photographie et bravo pour vos créations
Many thanks for this session.
I’ve already watched your videos on youtube.
If you ever shoot again in Kraainem I would be glad to assist you on this. I’m living there.
