Lesson Plan

1. Equipment setup and on-camera flash: Set up your camera and flash together. Practice when to use TTL or manual flash, and compare bounce flash with direct flash.
2. Difficult indoor environments: Work through approaches for dark walls, high ceilings, and low light, including situations where bouncing flash is limited.
3. Ambient light and flash balance: Practice preserving the room lighting while using flash to illuminate subjects. Adjust the balance to reduce unwanted motion blur and overly dark backgrounds.
4. Camera settings for event subjects: Work through ISO, shutter speed, and aperture choices for speakers and presentations, group photographs, and people dancing.
5. Shadows and exposure consistency: Practice techniques to reduce harsh shadows and inconsistent exposures, then review test images together.
6. A reliable indoor event workflow: Combine the techniques into a practical approach for making quick adjustments as subjects and lighting conditions change.
