Waddesdon Manor is one of the UK's most spectacular chateau's. Built in the French
Renaissance-style in 1874, the architect Gabriel Hippolyte Destailleur created
a very lavish construction. Originally it was only used at weekends by
Lord Rothschild's well to do friends.
It is perfect for exploring the techniques of creative architecture with its
turrets and towers, statues and fabulous gardens.
On the event we'll teach about exposure and the limits the digital camera creates.
Importantly we'll show you camera settings that minimise this sometimes
adverse effect along with editing techniques to retain all the detail.
The result will be breathtaking images with a full range of tones.
Architecture is about sharpness so we'll explore the shooting
mode to use and the settings to make and also ways of making the
exposure take more notice of the building. We'll demonstrate the use of partial
metering, auto exposure lock and bracketing.
As a special feature of this event we'll be shooting its beautiful
woodland trees and the building itself exquisitely floodlit which will result in
some of your most remarkable images. We'll teach you the skills of lowlight and
explain the use of long exposure noise reduction and demonstrate why its
important to make as long an exposure as possible in the dimmest of light.
The effects of reprocity failure will be explained and how to set the white balance
manually and by sampling an image to create natural colour.
Full 1:1 help will be given throughout.
