Photography Meet: Coventry

Last week I met up with Rosli Othman and Arep for another weekend of photography. It was a blast. Our venue this time was Coventry:

Rosli Othman photographing the Whittle Arch in Coventry town centre.

Rosli Othman and Arep busy photographing the Coventry Cathedral.


Arep & photography gear.


Rosli Othman at the Memorial Park, Photoshopped to burn and bring out the shadows.


Rosli took this one of yours truly; just in front of Coventry University.


Puan Mama Sarah and Amar, backlighted. Coventry Cathedral.


Puan Mama Sarah, Amar and Hila (Rosli Othman's wife). Coventry University.

Amar; among Rosli Othman's first experimental pictures with my 50mm F1.8 lens.


For lunch we went to Nandos.


Family photo (where's Sarah??). Taken using the 50mm F1.8 on Rosli's Canon 30D with his 580Ex Speedlite.

Looking forward to our next photography venue: Wales!

Mynn...found a very good reference on using flash with EOS cameras here http://photonotes.org/articles/eos-flash/#faq9 fact no.9 tells you the negative side of using flash on 'P' mode..have a look..its worth reading the notes!

I like looking at both of you in the last pic. You both represent the epitome of contented hosts!

DITH - Agaknya masakan Mama Sarah menjadi hari tu kot, thus the contented serene looks. Alhamdulillah. ;)

Rosli
seriously, i was only joking about using the "P" mode for flash photography. Yup i know - if you use P, only the foreground is exposed and the background will be dark (i.e a "snapshot") but if you use Manual, Av or Tv modes the background will be exposed too.

by the way, love the article you linked to - not as complicated as your lecture notes. I'm still trying to understand your lecture notes.

DITH
looking forward to be "contented hosts" to you & ikelah, probably in the near future :) insya allah
