On 14/10/09 Andrew Farrington set up various sets within the photography studio to demonstrate how natural light falls on a subject and to show the differences when taking a photograph using a different colour balance on a DSLR. Unfortunately to date oneself does not own a DSLR camera (as yet!) so I therefore teamed up with Gemma McAuley and below are the pictures obtained from the demonstration and notes taken from the lecture;
