CameraCraft with Beau Photo & Red Truck Beer Co.
April 16, 2019 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm PDT
$25.00
Join us for an evening where the craft of photography and craft beer come together with What’s Brewing Magazine’s chief photographer, Brian K. Smith and Beau Photo’s knowledgeable pro-gear staff and photographers. This will be an ongoing series, each time with a different theme, hosted by a different craft brewery.
Our first session will be at Red Truck Brewing (295 E 1st Ave,) on Tuesday, April 16th from 5:30pm to 8:30pm. You must register to attend. The fee will be $25 and will get you a pint of beer and nachos, as well as an opportunity to test out some gear! As an extra bonus, Red Truck Brewing will have one of their classic trucks outside to photograph at the beginning of the event.
The Session 1 theme is all about speciality lenses to enhance your craft, specifically ultra wide-angle, tilt-shift and macro lenses. You will have an opportunity to shoot the equipment and machinery inside the brewery itself, as well as the Red Truck outdoor area. We will be providing loaner lenses that you can try out from rentals and the manufacturers. As an example, we are planning on having the following, ultimately subject to availability of course…
The Canon 11-24mm f/4L, TS-E 17mm and TS-E 24mm tilt-shift lenses, 100mm f/2.8L IS macro and MP-E 65mm 1-5x macro lenses.
The Fujifilm 8-16mm f/2.8, 10-24mm f/4 OIS, 14mm f/2.8, 60mm macro and 80mm OIS macro with some extension tubes and a GF 23mm for the medium format bodies.
The Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8, PC-E 19mm and PC-E 24mm tilt-shift lenses, as well as their 60mm f/2.8 and 105mm f/2.8VR macro lenses and possibly a Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4! We will have an FTZ adapter as well, just in case the 14-30mm doesn’t make it, but our amazing Nikon rep is trying really really hard to make it happen!
The Sony 12-24mm f/4, 16-35mm f/2.8 G Master, 16-35mm f/4 Zeiss and 90mm Macro OSS as well as a Metabones adapter that will allow for use of Canon’s ultra-wide and tilt-shift lenses.
You’ll be able to test these lenses out on your own gear, so bring your camera bodies and/or lens adapters, batteries, memory cards and maybe a tripod for interior shots. In case you’ve been having thoughts about switching to a different system, we will also have camera bodies available to borrow and test the lenses with.
