We talked about the photos that were sent to me before starting discussions and sitting back to watch the videos. I hope the lollies I brought helped those in the class to stay awake.
We discussed the use of soft boxes and also the framing in the photos. Hopefully this has helped you to look further into how you want to take some photos.
I'd like to emphasize again the importance of really 'seeing' what you want to grab and not just grabbing a photo.

We had some issues with some of the speech speeds of the presenters, so I am glad these are on video so they can be watched again and again so that you can hear what the presenter has to say. (It can also be helpful to go into Settings at the bottom of the YouTube screen and change 'Playback Speed' to .75).
Great to see everyone and hope you all will come to the next session in October.
