The shoot I had planned for the group of executives at the National Library had to be postponed. The Director I was dealing with had a death in the family and has been overseas for some time. Although her return date is not known I've managed to confirm a group shot at the Library for 27 October and at the same time will do the computer shot probably using the microform readers.
Arranging the photos of the Cavy Club was a near impossible task to organise and the final results are far less than desirable. Originally scheduled to be shot following their AGM in September did not eventuate because the show ran overtime and was followed by the AGM and hall cleaning. Most of those elected reside in country NSW – Cootamundra, Temora, Hay, and Yass – and because of the late finish none were prepared to stay for the photo. The next opportunity was 16 October. There was a bit less time pressure although they were still anxious to get on the road.
Images were shot using a speedlite off camera E-TTL, inside a brick Scout hall with high ceiling andlarge skylight panels running across the roof that unfortunately provided too much ambient light. Looking at these photos at home on the computer shows they are unsuitable for the class project although they will work for the club's website and Newsletter.
These photos were taken at the National Press Club using speedlite mounted on a stand with an umbrella soft reflector positioned as high as possible and remotely triggered.
