The Basics of OCF

Always a learning curve for any photography topics. Last Sunday, we had a lighting meetup with some friends so we could explain some of the basics of Off Camera Flash photography. Here is a set of pictures explaining the principle of varying the shutter speed to balance the ambient light while "freezing" the subject with a flash.

Thanks Brandon!

At today's Hawaiian Telcom University, during lunch we were lucky to be seating with the guest speakers for BYOD devices and security. We could sample some of the toys!
