Crufts (1) Dogs

Back in March Sue and her Sister and Husband and I 'did our' annual trip to Crufts. This year we went on the final day. I was a bit apprehensive out the crowds a final day might attract. As it turned out it was no busier than our visits on previous years. This is the first of three blogs. This one shows some beautiful dogs. Number two will be about people and number three will be some monochrome pictures. Crufts is an amazing Dog Show and well worth a visit.

CCC Portrait Workshop

Last Sunday Clive Downes and Trevor Lee Organised a one day Portraiture Workshop for members of the Cambridge Camera Club Bernadette Lemon was our model for the day. We Learnt about shooting with window light; in Low Key lighting; High Key lighting with both a neutral background and one illuminated by a red filter; and finally a dance routine. A great day.

Natural Light with reflector.






Low Key Lighting.

I have to admit to this being my preference.







 High Key Lighting with neutral background





High Key but with background lights having a red acetate over them






Dance





After the event I had a play in Photoshop .....
