The Cable Release

May, 2014

Volume 61, No. 10

A Publication of the New Jersey Federation of Camera Clubs

Organized for the mutual

advancement and enjoyment of

photography .

Summer hiatus

It’s that time of the year . . . The last Delegates Meeting was held.

Checking last month’s Calendar of Events of the member clubs, it’s

obvious that most of them also go on hiatus.

We’ve included June events in this issue; however, there will be no

issue produced for July.

Hope you enjoy your summer, especially if you vacation somewhere

particularly photogenic. Our kids have rented a villa in Tuscany; two

sets of parents celebrating their 50th anniversaries and all 16 of kids

and grandkids will help celebrate.

Obviously, there will be few photo-ops . . .

The Cable Release returns in August.

Location Lighting with Rick Friedman!

Hunt's Photo and Video Thursday, July 10, 2014 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (EDT) Holyoke, MA Join award-winning photographer Rick Friedman for his hands-on “Location Lighting Workshop™”. This intensive and interactive seminar is de-

signed for portrait, wedding, corporate and event photographers, photojournalists and serous amateurs who desire to improve their knowledge of

lighting.

This 1-day hands on workshop begins with creating interesting light with one Speedlight on camera and then with a single speedlight off camera.

The workshop progresses to using multiple lights and mixing speedlights with ambient light. We work with Flashbenders, soft boxes, strip lights,

beauty dishes, grids, reflectors, gobos and other techniques to control light, create hairline lights and add color gels to your images.

Rick has taught this workshop in cities across the US and in the UK over the last 10 years. Come join us for a couple of days of lighting and laugh-

ing.

Rick will also be sharing his portable location lighting techniques that keep his clients coming back. As a working magazine photojournalist and

corporate photographer, his approach is always practical, innovative, and most of the time, fits in his camera bag. Rick’s clients include: Time,

Sports Illustrated, Newsweek, New York Times, der Spiegel, The Guardian and many other publications. Come join us for a couple of days of light-

ing and laughing. Rick teaches with both Nikon and Canon strobes.

There will be lots of equipment for attendees to use and discounted pricing on certain products. Rick is also the creator of the Rosco Location

Lighting Kit.
