Toronto Photo Walks

Brad is leading a Flash Photography Workshop in Graffiti Alley:

This photo walk we are going to do a workshop on using flash with your camera. We are going to shoot in Graffiti Alley around Spadina and Queen. (If you don’t have a flash, you can use your camera’s built-in flash or just go ahead and shoot the Alley.)

We are meeting up at Aroma Espresso Bar at 535 Queen St West
We will meet for 9:30 am and have a coffee and start the workshop at 10:00 am.
You find me in the alley because I need to do some set up work.

You will need to bring your flash if you have one for your camera. And mount to use off-camera and also any triggers you use.
We will take turns being models.

During the workshop we are going to learn the following flash techniques:

• The camera flash sync speed (Look this up for your camera)
• On-camera flash using TTL and flash compensation
• On-camera flash with a modifier
• On camera flash in manual mode
• How to use a ND filter with a flash
• On-camera flash using high speed sync

Demonstration of off-camera flash doing the following shooting

• Off-camera TTL Flash and high-speed sync
• Off-camera manual flash
• Off-camera flash a with a modifier
• Using a grid on the flash

I will have a couple of manual flashes that will fit some cameras.

My flashes and triggers are for Sony and can be shared.
I use Godox flashes and triggers so if you have a Godox transmitter you can use my flashes.

We can stop for a coffee break after 2 hours.
After the 3 to 4-hour workshop, we will walk down to the Firkin on King, 461 King St West (unconfirmed) 416-979-5464

If the weather is calling for rain, we will still meet up and do a leaderless walk through Queen West and do the workshop on the next walk weather permitting.

I am parking at the GreenP lot and returning my equipment to my car before the pub. Anyone bringing their equipment can do the same.

Firstly, apologies for not posting about the December 2nd walk – it was a last minute decision to do a leaderless walk rather than cancel it.

As is the tradition now, Vicki is organising our Seasonal Lights night walk:

Meet 5PM – Sheraton Hotel Lobby (Queen St across from City Hall). We’ll be near the glass enclosed waterfall behind the escalators.

NOTE: meet time changed to 5pm

It’s that time of year again. We will, as per usual, be winding our way to view downtown Toronto’s out-door and in-door delightful seasonal light displays. There will be areas of repeat for some, but will be new to more current members. All in all, it will be a time of get together. Let’s hope for snow, as it makes it all so much prettier. Somewhat of a map, meeting place and end pub location to come.
