Many thanks to Phil Weir who led a very instructive workshop on how to achieve soft focus in our photographs.  Phil’s years of experience as a professional photographer were evident, and the techniques and array of equipment he showed us were very interesting.

The presentation Phil gave is attached to this post and is also linked to the Club Documents page. Play With Soft Focus Equipment

We were also instructed in how to pose and light subjects for portrait photography. Some examples follow.
