A few weeks ago, me and Randy Pond were asked by Scott to take his photos while he was working out at the gym. Scott was getting ready for the 2010 Bodybuilding National Championships. It was a short photo shoot, but a very successful one. Never shot in a gym before so I knew lighting [...]
So our Canon fest was going great, until we go interrupted by the arrival of an alien species. We later learned that these species, are affectionately called The Nikonians. To tell the truth The Nikonian wasn’t so bad, as a lot of people would have you believe. Yes they do speak a different language, and [...]
Here is Nina. Enjoy!
Continuing with my Canon Fest pictures. Here is Marriam. Enjoy!
As our Canon Fest progressed, we moved from downtown Edmonton, to the ever familiar Alberta Legislature grounds. Everyone was paired up with a model and went to take wonderful pictures. Everything was going very well until…. but that’s for the other post, but here is Elisha. Enjoy!
Canon Fest? Yes, a real Canon Fest. Well at least that what me and my two friends called it. Me, Randy Pond, Travis Forsyth and Jenn Townsend-Plant decided to create a a first in Edmonton, Canon Fest. Travis actually came all the way from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to join our little get together. Since we all [...]
Here is the sunset me and my friend went out to capture, at Elk Island National Park. Enjoy!
A few weeks ago, and good friend of mine and a vet went out to Elk Island National Park, to see if we can catch the sunset. We arrived at our favourite spot by Astotin Lake. I’ve photographed a lot of sunsets on that lake, and they are always different. Every one. One always meets [...]
Every photo shoot this size has to have some behind the scenes photos. Enjoy.
Here are more photos from the big photo outing from about a month ego. Enjoy.
Yes I’ve been slacking in the posting department. I sincerely apologize for the sporadic postings lately. My excuse is, that I went back to normal work, and being away from it for almost 2 months, makes it a little challenging to get back in the groove. I do have lots of photos to show you. [...]
On the way back home, after an awesome trip and really good time, we spotted this huge cloud formation on the horizon. I think it was the most interesting thing I have seen in a very long time. The clouds were changing their formation by the minute, and it was steadily growing. Luckily it passed [...]
Besides seeing a lot of local fauna and flora in the Banff National Park, you always meet the other type of fauna…. the tourists. On a nice day like this there were a lot of them. Which in a way is good, because it provides great shooting opportunities. I just wish I had some business [...]
I really enjoy photographing people. Specially when I can sit on the sidelines, and just observe. This is what happened on the weekend. While I was at the Legislature Grounds there was a wedding photo shoot going on. So I sat on the sidelines and observed the photographer, and from time to time I shot [...]
Now what would a good road trip be, with out some postcards. Postcards from the mountains. Enjoy.
Spent a very nice afternoon at the Legislature Grounds, with my family and a good friend. Kids had lots of fun in the open public wading pool, and me and my friend hunted people with our cameras. Legislative grounds are very popular wedding picture destination, and usually you can find at least a couple of [...]
One thing you see on the road trip is an abundance of flora, and if you are lucky you will see some fauna as well. We got lucky, as well. It was the first time I ever saw a bear in the Banff National Park, and it was a Grizzly. It looked young from the [...]
So a couple of weeks past few friends of mine and I decided to go for a little photo trip out to the mountains. Since if one wants to get to the mountains from our lovely Edmonton, it’s at least 4 hour drive, we decided to leave around 5am. So at around 4:30 we piled [...]
Just a quick update. Saw my cardiologist finally, after almost 3 months of trying to get an appointment. The good thing is my daily intake of medically flavoured skittles is down to 1/5 of what it used to be. The picture here shows my weekly intake of these things. I hate taking pills. Absolutely despise [...]
A few weeks ago, my very good friend Randy Pond asked me if I wanted to test my strength and go on a little photo shoot with him. I agreed, but was a little apprehensive if I could carry my equipment, or at least part of it. Randy arranged everything, the models the place to [...]
I wanted to see the difference between my Canon 17-40mm wide angle lens and the Canon 16-35mm lens. The 16-35mm is twice as expensive as the 17-40mm, probably because it’s a f2.8, and the 17-40mm is only f4.0-5.6. Numbers aside, testing it in the field produced very similar results. For landscape they are pretty much the same [...]
Funny thing just occurred to me. I take lots of photos, of everything, but hardly any of my own family. Maybe it’s because I see them all the time? I don’t know. So that’s why I put this compilation of photos, from a couple of our trips this summer. Yeah I know, my kids are [...]
I always like macro photography. Bugs are so fun when they are blow up out of proportion. Gives me a completely different perspective on the world. Yes I know these are not remotely macro photography. I did try it, and found it difficult at best. First, bugs do move, and they move fast. Second the [...]
As all good things come to an end, here is the last part of the pictures from the Photo Walk. Enjoy!
With out further ado, here is part 5 of the World Wide PhotoWalk in Edmonton. Enjoy!
So I finally got myself a proper bicycle. One that fits me. Since I learned to ride a bike at 4 years old, I fell in love with it. Never was into competitive or serious riding, just for myself. I used to spend hours on a bike when I was a little younger. Just riding [...]
It was a great day spent at the park. I definitely recommend a visit, and a stroll back in time. Enjoy.
The Jurassic Forest provides a lot of photo opportunities. The position of these huge creatures in the forest, between the trees, makes it for a more real experience. Here are some more shots from our trip. Enjoy.
