Somewhere in the darkness, a shadowy figure walks softy through the gritty back alleys of Automobile Alley. A shiny backlight glimmering across a puddle catches his attention with the neon colors dancing with the vibrations in the water. Click, Click, Click, and a few seconds later... a single flash is deployed and waiting to reveal details of the subject. Before the next stoplight cycles, our superhero has staked out the perfect advantage point and locked down the tripod. Carefully taking aim, a single “POP” is seen. The image burned into his mind. Two more high pitched charging sounds followed by the loud flash pop and the moment is over. The gear is wrapped amidst quiet accolades of another successful visual creation.
Robert is taking you “back to the basics” of creative street photography with one flash. We will show how to choose your gear, set up on location, nail the exposure, and create drama in your images. This class is up close, personal, and hands-on. Everyone SHOOTS! Tonight we are all Night Rangers!
We start with a quick review of the basics needed for this style of street photography. When we talk basics, we are talking about ONE - One camera, One lens, One flash, One light stand, One tripod. We will show you a few extra modifiers to change your light spread.
Robert will demonstrate how to set up the shot and walk you through the camera settings and flash setup that will get you dramatic results from the first frame. Most importantly - where to set up your light stand and what power setting for your flash.
Then when your brain is almost ready to explode, Robert will demonstrate his secret “light- splitting” technique that will push you over the edge. Rock your next alley session with this unpublished light trick for extra dimension.
Junior Rangers are encouraged to bring a tripod with their camera kits. Any questions can be directed to Robert via email
Robert will stay afterward to help everyone with their creation. After that, he will turn back into a shadowy figure and drift away. Join us for this visually intensive hands-on class and never be afraid of the dark again

Xperience Exposure - Fort Smith, AR
Great light surrounds you. The subject is perfect. The moment is right. Your mind tingles with anticipation. Click! ... dark. Click! ... too light. Click! ...still too light. Click! ...why is this too dark now? I just changed everything. @#%&!!!! And the moment is gone forever.
Your camera is just a dumb box... OK, maybe an expensive dumb box that is useless without fully understanding the inverse relationship of the three exposure controls along with proper metering. Yes, you read that right.
METERING
You know, the little lights that flicker back and forth inside the viewfinder along some scale you don't remember. The internal camera guide that is never right. Yeah, the one you don't really use cause "I'm a pro and we only shoot in manual.”
Let Robert help you XPerience Exposure through the right use of ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed while understanding what the meter is really telling you. Learn the camera meter's sole purpose in life, as well as the handheld twin with its own unique functions.
Register now for this fun, casual and information-packed program. Bring your enthusiasm, questions, and favorite dance moves. Skeptics and hecklers encouraged to attend with special seating in the back of the room. Fruit may be provided
PS: for the "professionals" that only shoot in manual mode... Why do professional cameras have program, aperture priority, and shutter priority modes? Please sign the petition in the back of the room to demand a refund from camera manufacturers for superfluous (aka useless) controls on our professional cameras.
