I have managed to keep up with the new photography interest and I&#8217;ll just visit the latest efforts in this post and then leave it to get back to trains.<\/p>\n<p>Clare and I have continued with our BBC set topic challenge and I also went on a guided night photography walk around York which apart from being freezing was very interesting and also helped meet that weeks challenge topic which was `Star&#8217; so this picture of the entrance to The Star Inn did it.\u00a0 It was a 30+ second exposure and believe it or not someone came out of The Star, walked through the picture and stood at my side chatting but managed not to appear in the image!<!--more--><\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 235px; width: 722px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 174px;\">\n<p><div id=\"attachment_1216\"

East Pt 1 resulted in my not taking EDM Models to The Gauge 0 Guild Spring show in Kettering but, every cloud etc, it did allow me to attend a studio photo shoot nearer home that I had been invited to but had initially declined.\u00a0 I had never done photography in a Studio using studio flash before so I was very much the new boy here and just following what the other three photographers did. They were very generous with their advice and George, the model, was very tolerant of all of us pretending we knew what we were doing.<\/p>\n<p>All the photography tuition to this point had been about altering the settings on the camera to control the image that is captured so the studio work was a bit alien. The first instructions were, stick it on 1\/125th of a second and F8 and leave it. From that point all the changes were made with the lights, background and model position.\u00a0 Anyway here are a few of my efforts from that very enjoyable evening.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ngtrains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/George3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1230 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/ngtrains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/George3-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"612\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ngtrains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/George3-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ngtrains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/George3-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ngtrains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/George3-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ngtrains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/George3.jpg 1414w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The next serious photo event was Pt2 of our photography course with Go Digital at Souter Lighthouse. Part 1 had dealt with getting to know what all the knobs and dials on your camera were for and then concentrated on aperture priority shooting. Part 2 was about capturing movement, using shutter priority, focus method and all sorts of other fun stuff.<\/p>\n<p>The first exercise used the servo setting on the auto focus to keep the focus on the tutors body as she ran across the shot and then used shutter speed to control how much of the moving image was focused. We were aiming to freeze movement in the head and body and to a little blurring in the arms to give the idea of movement. Think of a bird in flight with the body on perfect focus and just the wing tips blurring slightly<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ngtrains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Movement_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1233 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ngtrains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Movement_1-1024x514.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"612\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ngtrains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Movement_1-1024x514.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ngtrains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Movement_1-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ngtrains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Movement_1-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ngtrains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Movement_1.jpg 1316w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After that we tried this with a spinning umbrella.
