10.0 Heather Angel presentation
Heather's presentation this year will be in two parts. One will show images impossible to have taken without the Nikon D3 camera - high speed action in poor light with increased ISO - taken in India and the UK. Heather worked for 7 months in China last year for her book Green China. This will be the première showing of the images and stories behind her latest mammoth project in this, China's Olympic year. Copies of Green China as well as other recent titles by Heather will be available this weekend.
11.30 Break for mid-morning refreshment: tea, coffee, mineral water on the Terrace.
12.0 John McDonald, Nikon Pro Products Group
John will explain how to get the best of the new technology employed in the latest DSLR cameras. He will show how to exploit the wide dynamic range capability and improved high ISO performance and provide guidance on how to personalise Picture Controls to suit your imaging needs.
13.00 Lunch
14.00 onwards there will be a choice of four sessions. You may attend any or all of them, although the Photoshop clinics will be aimed at different levels.
14.00 Practical Session
Still life macro demonstration with Heather Angel and the Nikon Pro Team
Heather will demonstrate how to portray still life subjects indoors to the best advantage, selecting the lighting which is most appropriate for the subject - whether it be window light, flash, a light box, a light tent or fibre optics. You will then be able to try your hand using one of several workstations which the Nikon Pro Team will set up for use with the Creative Lighting System using the latest wireless technology with Nikon Camera Control Pro software. Flowers, fruits, shells and fossils will be provided for this still life session. This is a marvellous opportunity for you to gain instant feedback on composition and lighting from Heather.
PLEASE BRING A MACRO LENS AND FLASH; otherwise you will be able to borrow one of several from the Nikon stand. Indeed, these workshops are an excellent opportunity to handle and try out Nikon equipment before making a purchase.
