VIDEO WEBINAR ON DEMAND:

Tools & Techniques for Photographing the Passage of Time

Sponsored by Sekonic, Benro, and Induro

Photography is magical. You can use your camera to capture a fleeting moment and a passage of time in a single photograph.

In this webinar, Joe Brady will show you how to produce powerful and captivating images that combine flowing motion and amazing detail in outdoor scenic shots that include water. Then he will bring his camera into town to record locations over minutes to demonstrate how the flow of action creates results that are both telling and eerie.

Joe will be using the Benro Travel Angel II along with the Sekonic L-758DR light meter to show you how easy it is to get the perfect exposure information to make your flowing landscape – even when the exposure runs into seconds and even minutes to get the look you want.

Key tools for long exposures include neutral density filters and sturdy tripods. Joe will show how to use them and introduce you to some of his favorite support systems from both Benro and Induro to ensure that the static parts of the scene remain tack sharp.

The images created are fun and exciting, so join us for this informative and inspiring session.
