Milford Photography Group

Whether you have a shoe flash or are thinking of getting one spend an hour with us going over how best to use it for pictures of people inside and out. Milford Photo's Jess Thompson loves to talk flash and will get you up to speed on optimizing this valuable but misunderstood accessory by reviewing images made with a shoe strobe during this hour long zoom presentation.

Topics covered include:

• How automatic flash works on the modern MDSLR/DSLR
• Applying the flash at an event.
• Creative control of shutter, aperture, and ISO with flash
• Using bounce technique for softer light
• Manual override for old school exposure control
• Outside flash fill
• Off camera portrait possibilities
• Useful accessories

$10 per person RSVP here to register. A zoom link will be sent to you before the event. SALE BONUS: Participants who purchase any GODOX flash will get %10 off during March 2026- that's a savings up to $60! Thanks to Tom Pomfort for the event photo.

Get up close and personal with the small stuff! Join fellow photographers for a hands-on macro photography session where we’ll practice close-up imaging on fun, fascinating subjects—professionally lit with continuous LED lights for maximum detail and drama.
Milford Photo’s staff will be on hand to guide you through key macro techniques, including exposure control, manual focusing, and managing razor-thin depth of field. You’ll be shooting throughout the event, building your portfolio while rotating through 4–5 fully lit macro stations designed to spark creativity.
