50mm Lens Meetup

50mm Lens Meetup

Saturday 18 July
Art of Animation Way, Lake Buena Vista - 10:30am - 2 Hours
Orlando Photography Group
Rebecca Kames
The 50mm lens is one of the flexible and useful lenses in any photographer’s gear bag. It is neither a wide-angle or telephoto lens, but allows the camera to see on the same scale as your eye. As such, it can be used for a variety of styles, from landscape and street photography to portrait and product photography. In this meetup, we’ll review the basic camera settings. We’ll then cover some of the advantages of shooting with a prime lens, and some basic techniques to using the 50mm lens. As always, there will be ample opportunities for you to put your new knowledge into practice.

    Hey there!

    My name is Will, and I am a videographer, filmmaker and photographer. I graduated from Stetson University with a major in Digital Arts. I have technical certificants in "Digital Media Video Production" and "Digital Video Editing and Post-Production". I have over ten years experience with DSLR photography.

    I place a lot of value in art, collaboration, and education. We're going to build a little environment here in Sanford where students can learn from my experience, but also learn from each other as we experiment, critique and exercise our creativity. See you soon!

    Working at the home studio with my friend/model/makeup artist Nena who I think was born in the wrong era, she is everything about vintage and classic and does it so well! We were going for Hollywood classic cinematic headshots in black and white from the 1930s-1940s using one light source in a soft box with grid to control the light spill. I had this printed in a 13"x19" for my portfolio
