Although Jodi Hattery’s demonstration of\u00a0the use\u00a0of\u00a0the studio lights in\u00a0illuminating a portrait February 24 at the Wassenberg Art Center is the most important news, I have another item to clear up first.<\/div>\n

Possibly you remember that I reported on a presentation made January 27 by Bill Gallaway about the photo equipment he uses in his work.\u00a0 I had consistently spelled Bill’s name as “Bob” in that article.\u00a0 I certainly apologize to all concerned.<\/p>\n

Now,\u00a0to Jodi’s demonstration.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0She had prepared a handout that provided many of the facts concerning camera settings and the placement of the lights and subject.\u00a0 She emphasized the need for a camera with manual settings for setting the shutter speed (125-160), f\/stop (5.6-6.3), ISO\u00a0(100-200), and having a hot shoe adapter for a wireless radio remote or sync cord to connect to the lights.<\/p>\n

When the sync cord was not working properly, it was suggested it was time for the club to replace it.\u00a0 Other suggestions were:\u00a0 Turn the room lights out to get a\u00a0better impression of the subject in the view finder, Turn the camera’s preflash off\u00a0so the lights will sync properly, and When the lights are set up the way you want, stretch a string\u00a0to the base of each so if there is need to reposition them, they will be\u00a0at a distance where they will still illuminate with the same intensity.<\/p>\n

Jodi said that the main light should be powerful enough to light the whole set.\u00a0 It should be about as high as\u00a0subject’s shoulder\u00a0and aimed at about 45 degrees to the subject.<\/p>\n

The fill light is not as bright and is set up on the other side of the subject to soften the shadows.\u00a0 It may be omitted to obtain a more dramatic lighting effect.<\/p>\n

The hair light is a smaller spot light to shine on the subject’s head to high light the hair.\u00a0 This will be especially important if the subject’s hair color has little contrast with the backdrop.<\/p>\n

The subject should be\u00a0placed about 3\u00a0 feet from the backdrop to avoid harsh shadows and\u00a0have their shoulders positioned at an angle to the camera.<\/p>\n

Jodi stressed that all lights are to be unplugged at the conclusion of the session.\u00a0 Members reconvened in the main gallery to view the shots Jodi and Chloee Gamble had taken.<\/p>\n

The club’s next meeting will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 10<\/span>, at the Wassenberg Art Center on 643 S. Washington St. in Van Wert.\u00a0 Geometric Shapes will be the competition theme in prints and slides that evening.<\/p>\n
