We had a presentation from one of our members Chenxi Ni on the Technical side of photography.
Chenxi had kindly bought along many Cameras, Lenses, Tripods and Lights from his collection to demonstrate.
His presentation was split into many sections. He began with a discussion of the DSLR versus Mirrorless cameras and discussed the merits and downfalls of each.
Chenxi is a very experienced photographer and has a wealth of knowledge on equipment and photography techniques.
He explained the merits of different Tripods, Flashlights, and Filters.
He went on to describe the focus lengths, apertures, shutter speeds for all types of photography including long exposure, and high-speed photography.
All of this was accompanied by a detailed power-point.
Finally, Chenxi finished with a demonstration of triggers, (sound and laser) how focus stacking works, and a detailed instruction for checking on camera your image for:
- Sharpness
- Colour Accuracy
- Pixel Count
- Noise Level
- Bokeh.
This is only a snapshot of the presentation which took us on a journey into the world of photography. We must thank Chenxi for a very informative and in-depth presentation.
